Additional Help
Been a while since you have researched? We have some awesome tutorials to help clear away the cobwebs.
Other useful and informative "How-Tos" can be found on our "How-To" page.
- Open Access Author Fund PilotOpen Access (OA) Author Fund Pilot is designed to heighten the visibility and accessibility of LSU scholarship and to support faculty, staff, and graduate students who choose to publish in open access journals that require author-fees for accepted manuscripts. It is intended for authors with limited sources of funding for open access publication charges.
Starting Research
Researching a topic can be a difficult process but it doesn't have to be. There are steps you can take to make your research process easy and stress-free. Much like how you can't build a house without a solid foundation, you can't begin researching unless you have a good, solid foundation of information. This is a good time to begin figuring out what you want your topic to be and researching the context of what your topic is about.
