1. The difference between Academic Universe and LexisNexis are AU descrides itself as the "world's largest scholarly, multi-discipline, full text database" with peer-reviewed articles from more than four thousand periodical titles and LexisNexis indexes six thousand international titles, including national and international newspapers, plus it provides full text and is updated hourly. The World Wide Web is different because you don't need a password to access it since it is free and available to everyone. Although not all the sources on the internet are good sources. Also it isn't like the indexed sources in the library database because they haven't appeared in print, because not all material on the World Wide Web has to go through a publisher or editor.

2. A bibliography is an alphabetically arranged list of evaluated sources that you have decided are credible, possibly valuableto your research, and also related to the issue at hand. A annotated bibliography is a bibliography that has summaries and responses to help show that you understand the content, your reaction to the information, and so that you can visualize the source. Doing this can help you to better understand what it is you are writing and how the best way to research it would be.

3. You check to see if the source is associated with an organization, is it listed under a reputable domain, is the source published in print or online journal that is peer-reviewed, is the online source duplicated in print, is the source accessed by a large number of people, is the source directed mainly to extremists, is the evidence in the source stacked to represent one point of view,is the source current, is the source sloppily edited, undocumented, or unreasonable, and is the source moral or immoral, ethical or unethical according to your values.

4. You would create a research plan to help you organize your notes and ideas and also to guide your research.

5. Plagiarism is when a writer deliberately uses what someone else says and uses it as there own. And they don't acknowledge where these words came from they try to put them accross as there own. You can avoid this by sorting through your ideas and those of the others you have been researching.
