Information

ABOUT SCRIBO

Scribo is an interactive research question and literature search tool for students who write research papers, projects and theses - all the way through and across higher education programmes.

Scribo guides you through a series of systematic, targeted paper questions and, along the way, takes you through research question, aim, choice of theories and methods, philosophy of science, methodology, information search, introduction and outline. In this way, the programme demonstrates how you design a project or theses.

The questions in Scribo are organised in a pentagon model of the key elements of tasks and projects. 

The Pentagon model is described in Den gode opgave (Rienecker et al. 2022) and Den gode opgave på stx (Haldbo et al. 2022) with many examples. You can easily use the programme without knowing more about the pentagon model.

Scribo consists of two parts:

• A question guide to the basic choices of the research paper/ project/theses, with tips and explanations along the way. Your answers to Scribo's questions are automatically saved during your project.
• A dictionary of terms that are central to research paper writing and information search.

Spending some time working in Scribo - preferably early in the process - is time well spent. Your answers can be downloaded as a Word file to send to your supervisor, your project group or your information specialist, and can be used as a draft for your introduction.

FOR SUPERVISORS

Are you supervising students writing independent research papers/projects/theses in higher education and can your students come better prepared for supervision? Scribo is a question guide that asks the typical questions that supervisors and information specialists ask the paper writer in a systematic order. There is a dictionary, explanations and references to resources that the writer can use along the way. As a basis for supervision, the student may send you a text file with parts or all of his or her work with Scribo.
