Doing Research the Right Way
Good research is honest, careful, and fair to the people who take part in it. Every GJC study should give proper credit to the work of others and report results truthfully.
Students working on a thesis can also get help finding sources and citing them correctly at the GJC Library, which keeps theses and a growing research repository.
Research with people
Studies involving surveys, interviews, or tests with people need informed consent and must protect participants’ personal information under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
No plagiarism
