New and updated learning resources

The learning materials on EconBiz are constantly being updated and expanded. Our new infographic "How to choose a research topic" shows students how to find their topic in five steps. If they already have an idea for a topic, they can use the checklist to see if their research question is suitable for a term paper and manageable within the timeframe. We have also updated our PDF handouts "Search and evaluate sources" and "Citations and reference list", both under a CC BY license, making them easy to reuse on your website or in your courses.
