Getting started with research

Our new resources produced by Dr Andrew Davies of Aberystwyth University, and Dr Jane Waters of University of Wales Trinity Saint David will help you to get started with research. Learn about some of the key things you need to consider when planning your research project such as research methodology, conducting a literature review, drawing conclusions and research ethics.

Research Ethics

Here you will find our ethics resources produced by Dr Jane Waters and her team at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. Accompanying video material has been produced with the support of Olchfa School.

Research Guides

We’ve produced a number of useful ‘how to’ guides to guide you through writing a research report, and setting up a journal club.

Access to resources

There are a number of open source repositories and databases that offer access to journal articles, books and theses. Take a look at this list of useful sites to help you.
