In this first session, we'll examine why generative AI is an unreliable research partner, and the harm it can do to your credibility and reader trust.

You'll also learn why it's important for you as an author to determine whether a source is a primary, secondary, or tertiary source, and how Wikipedia is actually a great place to start.

Despite what your college professor told you, Wikipedia can be a great research partner!

In this session, you'll learn how to parse out the search results from Google and DuckDuckGo, as well as how you can harness the knowledge on Wikipedia as a springboard for your online research.

You'll also learn how to quickly read and understand academic and scientific research papers so you can find the information you need to support your ideas.

These days, it's way too hard to figure out what's real and what's not on the internet.

In this session, we'll look at how to identify AI-generated websites—which will likely have unreliable information—so we can avoid them.

And as you collect information for your book, you might find yourself feeling discombobulated and wondering how you're going to keep track of all these articles, websites, and studies.

Today's readers are expecting nonfiction to be well-sourced with trustworthy information. And the last time you used footnotes or any kind of citation was probably in college.

Don't worry! You'll learn how to keep track of your sources and keep them organized as you write, without getting bogged down in formatting.
