This page exists to provide support for the in-depth research required in STAT4010.
A librarian will deliver a guest lecture in your course. Before or after the lecture, you can contact a librarian for support with:
Q. Do I have to choose something related to my degree?
A. Not necessarily, but it's always a good idea to do something that may help you in the future. There is lots of research out there in every discipline including marketing, supply chain management, accounting, construction project management, etc. Ultimately, you should choose a topic that interests you.
Q. I can't find articles! Do I need to change my research topic?
A. Connect with your librarian who can help you develop your search strategy. You are usually allowed to tweak your research question as you work through the course, but should try to keep within the same research topic once approved.
Q. How do I cite an academic article?
A. The following is the basic format for citing an academic article in APA. Note that you may not have every component (such as issue or doi):
Author Surname, First Initial. Second Initial. (Year). Article title: Subtitle. Periodical Title, Volume(issue), page range. doi if available
Q. How do I add SAIT Library to Google Scholar?
A. Look for the three bars in the top left corner. Click that, and then click "Settings" at the bottom of the side bar (with the gear icon). There, you will find "Library Links". You can search for SAIT or Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. Check our guide for more information about using Google Scholar.
Q. How do I request articles that are paywalled?
Connect with the librarian who came to your STAT4010 class. If a librarian did not visit your class, choose the Academic Services and Student Services Librarian.
