Contact an Expert (Thread 1)

Before class next week we are supposed to contact someone in our area of research that is published. I looked through my articles and decided to email one of the authors of an article I found quite interesting. I'm curious to see what kind of response I get. If this turns out to be a dead end I will try a different author.

My lit review is coming along pretty well. I currently have 32 references to use. Putting the references into proper APA style and seeing how many of them I have makes me feel better about where I am in this research process. Now, if I can just figure out the difference between a problem statement and a research question, I'll be doing great!

UPDATE:
I got a response from the expert that I contacted. He seems very nice and interested in offering assistance. I also got an email response from a graduate student that had conducted a study at another university. She, too, seems eager to help. Good contacts to have!
