Into Scribo

Start by creating and naming a project. Then you can always leave it, pick it up again and work on it later. You can also save it as a Word file with answers to the questions that ask you to write snippets of text for a draft introduction.

If you are starting a research paper/project/theses: answer the questions in the programme without spending a lot of time on each question. What you write is a draft of the introduction to the paper, but you can always work more on the individual parts of the text, revise, edit and refine, possibly after more information gathering.
Have you already written some of what the programme asks for? For example, a research question, a method description or something else? Then you can copy text into the programme.

If there are questions you cannot answer today, move quickly on to the next question and consider it a reminder to think about whether that question is relevant to you later.
Are you writing a group project? Then it is a good preparation for coordination in the group that everyone has worked individually with Scribo first.

Remember: Blank spaces are just a reminder of what you might need to research further, perhaps with a supervisor, fellow students, the information specialist at your study library, or through literature and other resources.

Because the formulation of your thesis problem, the guidelines and the search for information are inextricably linked, Scribo is organised as a research question and literature search tool. You will therefore find help with the information search in connection with the first question of the question guide.

It is also a good idea to discuss your draft research question and literature search strategy with your supervisor and ask him or her for advice if you are unsure about anything in your work, or about Scribo's definitions. You can use the programme during the design phase of your paper, and later to check that you have addressed the most important elements of the research paper/project/thesis: your own research and your literature base.
