Answer to Question 1

Answer: As you research, you can organize your files on your computer, or you can take advantage of cloud computing to store your files on the Internet so that they are available to share with collaborators and to use on all your devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones.
To organize your research on your computer, use a logical filing system that helps you find and retrieve documents when you need them. The following guidelines will help you organize your information for easy reference. Also be sure to back up your files so you don't lose valuable resources. Create identifiable filenames. When you download a file from the web, such as a PDF, the filename may not adequately identify the file's contents. Group similar content for easy synthesis. On your computer, create a folder for each research project. Within that folder, create subfolders that allow you to organize the information. You can organize folders by topic or by type of information (for example, survey results and software reviews) or by the research questions from your work plan.
To organize your research to share with others, consider using applications such Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Anecdotal evidence comes from subjective reports or stories that people tell. It is not scientific or verifiable evidence, but you may find accounts of other people's experiences useful in your research. In social media sources, social reviews, such as consumer-generated product reviews on sites like Amazon, provide a wealth of anecdotal information about products you may be re-searching. In fact, research by NM Incite shows that 60 percent of all social media users review products and services online, and other consumers value these reviews as a source of information. You can also find anecdotal evidence on blogs, microblogs, and videos, all of which can be excellent sources of testimonials or complaints about a product. The search engine socialmention.com allows you to search multiple social media platforms for sources related to the topic you are researching.
