Communicating Social Science Research Results First, we want to locate the best information and data that exists in order to complete our literature review for a research article or report. This can involve the use of the Internet and the evaluation of web sites before we use data from these sites. How can you as a researcher evaluate the quality of these web sites prior to using their information and data? Second, unless the results of your research are properly communicated, all the efforts you have put into your research will benefit no one. Explain how the intended audience affects writing your research report and how you might approach communicating the results of your research for two different types of audiences.

UMUC has modified this work and it is available under the original license.List of academic databases and search engines From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This page contains a representative list of major databases and search engines useful in an academic setting for finding and accessing articles in academic journals, repositories, archives,
or other collections of scientific and other articles. As the distinction between a database and a search engine is unclear for these complex document retrieval systems, see: · the general list of search engines for all-purpose search engines that can be used for academic purposes · bibliographic databases for information about databases giving bibliographic information about finding books and journal articles. Note that "free" or "subscription" can refer both to the availability of the database or of the journal articles included. This has been indicated as precisely as possible in the lists below. This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.

For the submarine, see USS Triton (SSRN-586). Social Science Research Network Logo of Social Science Research Network Web address www.ssrn.com Type of site Scholarly research Registration Collaborative of over 217,000 authors and more than 1.7 million users Available language(s) English Owner Social Science Electronic Publishing, Inc. The Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is a website devoted to the rapid dissemination of scholarly research in the social sciences and humanities. SSRN was founded in 1994 by Michael Jensen (a financial economist) and Wayne Marr. SSRN is owned by Social Science Electronic Publishing, Inc. (SSEP). Jensen continues to serve as chairman
of the company, and Gregg Gordon is the president and CEO.[1] SSRN was ranked the top open-access repository in the world by Ranking Web of Repositories (an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Spanish National Research Council) in January 2013.[2] Academic papers in PDF can be uploaded directly to the site by authors and are then available for worldwide free downloading. Publishers and institutions can upload papers and charge a fee for readers to download them.[3] Users can also subscribe to abstracting email journals covering a broad range of subject matters. These e-journals then periodically distribute emails containing abstracts (with links to the full text where applicable) of papers recently submitted to SSRN in the respective field. In economics, and to some degree in law (especially in the field of law and economics), almost all papers are now first published as preprints on SSRN and/or other paper distribution networks such as Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) before being submitted to an academic journal. On SSRN, authors and papers are ranked by their number of downloads, which has become an informal indicator of popularity on prepress and open access sites.[4] SSRN, like other preprint services, circulates publications throughout the scholarly community at an early stage, permitting the author to incorporate comments into the final version of the paper before its publication in a journal. Moreover, even if access to the published paper is restricted, access to the original working paper remains open through SSRN. SSRN has mirror sites at European Corporate Governance Institute (London), Korea University (Seoul), Stanford Law School (California) and University of Chicago Booth School of Business (Illinois).[3] See also · Academic databases and search engines

Communicating Social Science Research ResultsFirst, we want to l.docx

  • 1. Communicating Social Science Research Results First, we want to locate the best information and data that exists in order to complete our literature review for a research article or report. This can involve the use of the Internet and the evaluation of web sites before we use data from these sites. How can you as a researcher evaluate the quality of these web sites prior to using their information and data? Second, unless the results of your research are properly communicated, all the efforts you have put into your research will benefit no one. Explain how the intended audience affects writing your research report and how you might approach communicating the results of your research for two different types of audiences. Title: Bureau of the Census http://www.census.gov Title: State and Local Governments http://www.statelocalgov.net Title: National Center for Education Statistics http://www.ed.gov/nces Title: National Center for Health Statistics http://www.cdc.gov/nchs Title : Bureau of Labor Statistics http://www.bls.govList of Academic Databases and Search Engines The article List of Academic Databases and Search Engines on the Wikipedia website is used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license.

The Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is a website devoted to the rapid dissemination of scholarly research in the social sciences and humanities. SSRN was founded in 1994 by Michael Jensen (a financial economist) and Wayne Marr. SSRN is owned by Social Science Electronic Publishing, Inc. (SSEP). Jensen continues to serve as chairman

Publishers and institutions can upload papers and charge a fee for readers to download them.[3] Users can also subscribe to abstracting email journals covering a broad range of subject matters. These e-journals then periodically distribute emails containing abstracts (with links to the full text where applicable) of papers recently submitted to SSRN in the respective field. In economics, and to some degree in law (especially in the field of law and economics), almost all papers are now first published as preprints on SSRN and/or other paper distribution networks such as Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) before being submitted to an academic journal. On SSRN, authors and papers are ranked by their number of downloads, which has become an informal indicator of popularity on prepress and open access sites.[4] SSRN, like other preprint services, circulates publications throughout the scholarly community at an early stage, permitting the author to incorporate comments into the final version of the paper before its publication in a journal. Moreover, even if access to the published paper is restricted, access to the original working paper remains open through SSRN. SSRN has mirror sites at European Corporate Governance Institute (London), Korea University (Seoul), Stanford Law School (California) and University of Chicago Booth School of Business (Illinois).[3] See also · Academic databases and search engines
