Bibliographic Project

The EU Bibliographic Project consists of training in literature review, 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 field of study. This literature review culminates in the preparation of a summary and a poster.

The objectives are: (i) to support students’ learning about research and the management of bibliographic references by utilizing appropriate tools; (ii) to encourage the development of critical thinking regarding the information gathered through bibliographic research; (iii) to promote the development of skills related to synthesizing information from various sources and to scientific writing.

The evaluation will focus on:

• Defining a topic of one’s choice related to the course and analyzing it
• Writing a Summary
• Creating a Poster

The EU curriculum is organized into four units:

• Defining a Topic and Formulating a Research Question
• implementation of literature review methods
• writing a summary
• Creating a poster and putting together a 180-second Flash presentation

• Knowing how to formulate a research question;
• Master the tools and methods of literature review, including:
  • be able to assess the relevance of sources;
  • know how to select a list of references;
• Be proficient in using Zotero;

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