Papers on teaching and learning may be published in (higher) education journals or in subject-specific journals. Research from one subject area may well be transferable to a different area so using Google Scholar will ensure you search a wide range of titles.
Open Research initiatives vary from between countries and continents, and there are plenty of databases containing research from Latin America and Africa which are under-utilized due to Anglo-American and Western European dominance. Searching these databases and using the research you find can bring valuable perspectives into your teaching practice and research.
We recommend using reference management software to organise, sort and reference when writing.
At Swansea University Libraries we support Endnote, both the online and desktop versions.
Both versions help you to store and organise your references and format them in Word.
