These are lecture notes for VIBS 310-Biomedical Writing. At this point in the semester, students are beginning to work on their capstone project, the literature review (http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/177501). They have already proposed a topic and turned in an annotated bibliography (http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/175473). Having struggled to find a topic and identify a suitable research question, students are ready to learn about reference management software and about some tools they can use to identify the primary research questions posed in primary journal articles.
