Week 2 Post - Thesis Question
Going through vast amounts of research on different facets of my thesis on EBSCOHost, I kept noticing different results pop up that didn't have a very acedemic feeling/tone to them. This got me wondering two things:
1. How do you get your work put up on the acedemic search engines? It sure seems the information that we write is not much different than quite a bit I see on there, I have a feeling some of the research that comes up is most likely from other students.
2. Why would you want to submit your information for others to see when it might be on a ridiculous topic that's not even research? I realize the importance of having all different topics of research, but I would think there should be some sort of criteria into having your work be searched for.
