A research log helps you track your progress, remember where you found key information, and document your research process. It is especially valuable for thesis students who work on their project over months or years. Many advisors require a research log, and it makes writing your methodology section much easier.
Record the date, what databases or sources you searched, what search terms you used, what you found, key quotes or data points, your reflections on the material, and what you plan to do next. The more specific you are, the more useful the log will be when you return to it later.
Organize sources, themes, and findings for your literature review. Track key arguments, methodologies, and gaps across papers.
Structured outline for research papers with sections for introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion.
Template for creating annotated bibliographies in APA, MLA, and Chicago formats. Includes evaluation and reflection sections.
