Research Questions Sources

For research question 1. Is plagiarism the same as copyright infringements? I would use a Dictionary for specific definitions to compare plagiarism and copyright infringements and a subject encyclopedia because they would be the most useful for definition.
For research question 2. What is the difference between scientific fraud and honest error? I would use a Dictionary of American History for the example and experiences of events included in the source and a science encyclopedia because they would be beneficial for specific example in the science area.
For research question 3. What is the most common definition of Plagiarism? I would use an encyclopedia of science technology and ethics for the most accurate definition and a subject encyclopedia because they would produce the definition.

Summary

Summary: The research journal study unit using the Clark College Library's deep web has been informative. I did not realize the wealth of information available for research. The difference between Gale Virtual Reference Library and other deep web library's compare to Wikipedia and free web is the creditability. The subject or topic would also make a difference. Subject encyclopedias are quantity and quality compared to open web encyclopedia. The databases are either free or stored protected. A licence is required for deep web. Using this blog for a research journal has been informative. The experience academic and the directions were clear. The development of Blog and knowledge of deep invisible web created a desire to learn more on the subject. I appreciate this opportunity.
