Being a Smart Researcher (Labaree, 2017) • Don’t try to read everything or gather every bit of data • Look for the shortcut rather than plowing through the middle of all the data • Gather enough data to be credible • Remember that no argument is ever iron clad or permanent • Focus on telling an interesting story, drawing on the evidence for support rather than relying on it as the core of the story • Remember that research is a stimulus for thought
