Define Your Objective: Clearly outline what you need to learn. Narrow your focus to avoid irrelevant data.
Identify Sources: Use academic journals (Google Scholar), government databases (e.g., World Bank for NG), or reputable platforms like Statista. For local Nigerian data, explore NBS (National Bureau of Statistics).
Keywords & Filters: Craft precise search terms (e.g., “Nigeria GDP growth 2010–2025”) and apply filters (date, region).
Evaluate Credibility: Check sources for authority, accuracy, and timeliness. Peer-reviewed articles > blogs.
Organize Data: Tools like Excel or Notion help categorize findings. Label sources for easy referencing.
Analyze: Look for patterns, gaps, or contradictions. Use simple tools like pivot tables or qualitative coding.
Cite Properly: Avoid plagiarism. Use APA/MLA formats for consistency.
Stay Ethical: Respect privacy laws (e.g., Nigeria’s NDPR Act) when handling sensitive data.
Pro Tip: Start with broad sources (UN databases), then drill down to local reports. For time-sensitive data, prioritize recent publications (<5 years).
