Begin this assignment with a search on the general topic. The first step in the process is to create the search results. There will be a large number of articles showing in the library aggregator. The library aggregator is the tool that results in the output list of articles. Aggregators include ProQuest and ESBCOhost. Enter the search terms and see the results.The next step is to consider how you will manage your articles and searches. You will have to keep track of what search items and keywords you used on which data, using which databases/aggregators. Very quickly, you will collect a large number of articles and will likely not remember how you found them, or which set of authors concluded what. Hence, you will need to keep track of articles in a manner that enables you to find citations, articles on specific topics, research conclusions, and other relevant pieces of information, without having to re-read articles. A good way to start is to review abstracts and identify a subtopics and keywords that may be of interest to you.Finally, write a summary paper in which you explain the reference management process and how you might use a reference management tool to organize and find your sources later. Using this week's readings as a guide, compare and contrast the different reference and citation management tools you could use for your searches. Include 3-4 tools in your analysis, including the Excel spreadsheet used for this assignment, EndNotes and RefWorks (the two latter tools are available to you for free through NCU). Optional: You may include one other software tool with which you are familiar in your analysis. Your compare and contrast analysis should cover advantages and disadvantages of each tool.Based on your analysis of these systems, which do you think will be the nest fit for you as you begin to review the literature and why?Length: 3-4 pages, not including the references pagesReferences: Include a minimum of five scholarly resources, and include an APA formatted reference list.
