It’s best to set up your research organization before bringing home tons of articles. If that didn’t happen, don’t worry- it’s not too late. I always recommend that you organize your research either by files or using a large 3 ring binder. You’d set up separate file folders (the expandable ones are best) or separate sections in the binder for each chapter. You’d include a separate filing for overview material. Then, as you collect materials, you can group them by the chapter or section to which they belong. This can keep you organized and clearer on the research you have and the research you need. It’s a good idea to occasionally clean out your research files to make sure you’ve used everything you collected, and, too, that you aren’t continuing to hold onto materials you decided not to use. By keeping your research materials well organized, it will be easier to complete well organized research.
