Choosing a Topic

  • A topic that is too current will not have peer reviewed sources published yet because quality research takes time to publish (for example: Is Pres. Trump's rhetoric about the border wall affecting the mental health of immigrants seeking asylum?);
  • A topic too local may not have peer reviewed sources (for example: How has the Camp Fire affected charitable giving in Butte County? Instead you may want to look at natural disasters in general); and/or
  • A topic too popular may not be academic enough to have peer reviewed sources written about the topic (for example: Are there emotional benefits to binge watching TV?).
