Students Response: All research methods such as, public speaking, philosophy, and any other course that requires college students to engage in formal writing (essay) or speaking engagement requires scholastic peer reviews (Sorenson, M. E. (2016). The rise in popularity of search engines (e.g., Google and Yahoo) and major shifts in the media scenery and literacy in a trajectory of academic research can be difficult for both students and instructors.

Many students, teachers and professionals rely on the Internet, perhaps more than a library; it is mostly quick, especially in professional demands, and easier than leg work; the internet is formatted as a believable online truth. I recently learned that websites displaying a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is not a permalink or URL. Generally, are specific written digital thoughts convincing issues and not perhaps scholastically authenticated. A ‘permalink’ is a web address or ‘URL’ (“Uniform Resource Locator” of a worldwide web page) that can be connected with a book, article, and streaming media, having most likely scholastically examined for proof. This information can also be found by searching through GCU (Grand Canyon University) library references and or webinars.

According to Pan et al. (2007), college students are generally relying on sources that appear at the top of a list of results, regardless the significance or credibility the internet provides. These undercover habits eventually catch up determining the credibility of the one insinuating a piece to be scholastically approved. Not necessarily does this interpret one to be lazy or lacking with skills? The consequence from an instructor and university policy violations can determine a harsh outcome if dishonesty and plagiarism are gritty, alongside and near reaching the formality of a library website or other scholarly peer reviews from the Internet (Becker, 2003). Hall (2002). Thus, it is necessary that students understand how to examine all credibility and significance of more important modern-day resources, such as up-to-date data regarding the APA, 7th edition, and other organizational websites and informative blogs (Sorenson, M.E., 2016).
