    ANSWER THIS
    • What is the importance of gathering
    background information about your
    research topic?
    • What are the techniques in
    preparing a related literature? 
    • Why do you need to recognize other
    people’s work?
    What is a Scientific literature?

    • Scientific literature is the principal medium for


    communicating the results and conclusions of a scientific
    inquiry. It is used as a foundation of future research, either to
    validate its conclusion or to create new and original studies.
    Scientific knowledge continues to grow as new studies are
    made.
    •Collaborative Work: (think-pair-share)

    •Let’s Classify. Listed below are possible sources of information for your research. Identify each
    item as primary, secondary, or tertiary source by checking the appropriate column. Use a
    separate sheet for your answers.

    Scientific literature is often divided into three types, depending on the originality of the
    information portrayed and the proximity of the literature to the source of information. These
    are the following:
    1. Primary literature refers to original research and new studies that contain firsthand
    information about a certain topic. Also known as primary source. Example journal articles,
    monographs, autobiographies, photographs, and speeches.
    2. Secondary literature refers to publications that largely rely on primary literature. Its main
    purpose is to discuss, evaluate, synthesize, and summarize information from different resources.
    Examples are literature review articles, meta-analysis, indices, and data compilations.
    3. Tertiary literature is based on both primary and secondary literatures. It represents a
    condensed summary or an introduction to the current knowledge or research on the topic.
    Examples are science magazines, textbooks, encyclopedia, and dictionaries.
     
    Before we go further….

    • Continue collaborative works:

    • Think of at least 5 ethical principles that must be


    practiced when conducting research and share to class

    • 2. It gives a summary of critical studies.
    • 3. It helps refine your research topic.
    Collecting background
    information is a vital
    step in understanding
    your research topic.

    Where can you find scientific information for


    your research topic?
