Do you have a focussed thesis? Is the data gathered so far too broad? Then narrow the search.

Is it biased unfairly towards one point of view? Then broaden your search.

Is the topic covered fully?

 

Prepare your Bibliography:

Use consistent citation formatting such as APA or MLA styles. For more information, see Style Guides for specific examples.
