Hi Wes
All your research starts with “http://www…..” This is NOT academic research, though I appreciate that you will find the vast majority of your investigative/contextual research via this method. You MUST get some relevant papers from the research databases to show that you can research, assimilate and conclude your findings on a problem.
A great start and this covers the project log aspect really well.

Yep, I have got loads of journal articles from Metalib , but didn’t want to post them here because of copyright, I will add the references to them though.
