3.1.1 Introduction to Processing

Time estimation: 20 min.

All information you find and use needs to be processed one way or the other. To use the publications you find, you have to consider how you want to use them: to read them yourself, to share them with others, and/or to generate a literature list.

Sometimes you will only use the publications later, for example a paper you found at the beginning that you will need again during your argumentation. For later use, its important that you can still find them and that you know what these publications are about. Saving a literature list and adding tags and ratings will help you with this.

Using the relevant publications in your report has some rules. Avoid plagiarism by listing the source of every citation, every paraphrase and every image or photograph that you copy, and make sure you have a complete and correct literature list.
