The following essay covers the importance of good research and referencing, the advantages and disadvantages of using different sources. The laws of copyright issues and plagiarism during researching information and why it is important to follow it correctly and also importance to reference work by identifying two popular conventional systems.

On the other hand other sources such as textbooks have advantages such as the amount of information compacted into one book rather than needing multiple books on the particular subject, although they don’t offer real-life experiences and often textbooks don’t go into full depth of a topic which some people may find necessary. Newspapers are also a popular choice for researching information and to keep up to date with topics, global circumstances and more in depth acknowledgement of certain subjects in a lighter hearted way as they can relate to day to day life and how it can impact and affect groups and individuals within a society but aren’t necessarily written too formally. Like books certain newspapers focus on certain topics which make it easier for the reader to distinguish when buying them. Unfortunately newspapers are written in most cases from one person’s point of view so rather than giving facts it can be very influential to how people understand certain things and what they believe to be right.
