Article Review Form
Rather than traveling to the library (or sending an
assistant) with copy card in hand to photocopy every possible page that
might be important, thoughtful researchers will resort to a short hand
form that, once completely filled, will serve in the place of the
photocopy. This method makes a smaller footprint in the ecology and a
smaller dent in the budding researcher's pocketbook. More importantly,
using the form instead of copying whole articles, or downloading entire
articles in electronic .pdf format, will provide a quick and fluid
method for organizing findings. Student should feel free to design their own forms, but here are some
details that will prove useful:
