Bibliographic project

The EU Bibliographic Project consists of training in documentary research, including the use of search engines, databases, and bibliographic reference management tools. Students work in pairs on a topic they have chosen themselves, related to their course of study. This documentary research is enhanced by the writing of a summary and a poster.

The objectives are: (i) to support students' learning in the area of research and bibliographic reference management by utilizing appropriate tools; (ii) to encourage the development of critical thinking skills with regard to the information gathered from bibliographic research; (iii) to promote the development of skills related to synthesizing information from various sources and scientific writing.

The evaluation will focus on:

• Defining a topic of your choice related to the training and its problematization
• Writing a written summary
• Creating a poster

The content of the EU is divided into four sections:

• definition of a topic and problematization
• implementation of documentary research methods
• writing a summary
• production of a poster and creation of a 180-second flash presentation

The targeted skills are as follows:

• Knowing how to formulate a problem;
• Mastering the tools and methods of documentary research, in particular:
  • know how to evaluate the relevance of sources;
  • know how to select a list of references;
• Mastering Zotero software;
• Improve your scientific writing skills.

The course is structured as follows: two theory sessions, one practical session, and independent study.
