First, drawing from the activity above, you’ll need to go out and collect relevant studies, reports, or other materials. You can carry out open-source research on the web, by using a search engine (like Google) to query a set of key search terms related to your topic.
You might also start by researching relevant thematic ‘community of practice’ forums, think tanks, and other online repositories to generate information on your topic. Finally, you might consider looking up (or even reaching out to!) widely cited scholars or practitioners on your topic, since it is likely that they have a consistent body of work in their particular areas of expertise.
Next, you’ll need to annotate and synthesise the information from the studies, reports or other materials you’ve found.
