10 Things to Avoid While Using Internet for Your PhD Thesis Research

These days computers and the internet have become very accessible for the students. The students use the internet-based databases for researching relevant material for their PhD dissertation, essays and coursework. There I no doubt about the fact that the internet has a larger library of information that can be accessed anywhere anytime. The smartphones, in addition provide the additional benefit of making the internet even more accessible.However,when it comes to the huge and increasingly accessible library of knowledge on the internet, there are many facts that need to be kept in mind by the research students. In the case of the PhD students, the internet is one of the main sources of the literature review material, the research articles, and any relevant information. Ten main things need to be seen and taken care of by the PhD students as they use the internet for research purposes.
1. The PhD students must make sure that the websites that they use for accessing the information are taken from authentic websites. Various knowledge-based websites allow the members or the reads the right to edit the information, as they want to. This makes the information increasingly changeable, irrespective of the fact if it is original or copied. This Also praises the fact that any information that is available on the internet is not authentic and may have been changed by the readers more than one time.

2. The students must make sure that they should not copy and paste any found information directly on the thesis. Thisleads to plagiarism.

3. Any information that is taken from the internet must be rephrased acited or referenced ion a proper manner.

4. All the articles that have been taken from the internet are the ones that need to be referenced properly.

5. The articles and the relevant information that has been taken from the internet should be from the authentic authors and should be published in the well-known journals.

6. The internet should be used to check any additional changes in the style of the paper and the changes in the technical language of the paper. Theirrelevantinformation on the internet can also lead to great changes in the language and styles of the paper.

7. Any information that is added to the thesis must be cited.

8. Additional unauthenticinformation present on the internet must not be used.

9. The writing styles must be searched for on the internet in a proper manner. In addition, these writing styles and references must not be just copiedand pasted. These should be used as per the requirements of the professor.

10. The referencing styles should be followed with the language styles and the requirement of the thesis. The references do not need to be just copied and pasted.
