How do undergraduates find relevant references before writing papers?
It is very important for undergraduates to find relevant references before writing their papers. Here are some suggestions:

1. Use library resources: First, you can use the resources of the school library. Libraries usually have a wealth of paper and electronic books, periodicals, newspapers and so on. You can search books and periodicals on related topics through the online catalog system of the library. In addition, the library also provides academic databases, such as JSTOR, EBSCO, ScienceDirect and so on. These databases contain a large number of academic journals and conference papers.

2. Use academic search engines: In addition to library resources, you can also use academic search engines to find relevant reference materials. Commonly used academic search engines include GoogleScholar, PubMed, IEEEXplore, etc. These search engines can help you find academic papers, patents, conference papers and so on related to your research topic.

3. Refer to other people's research: If you know that other scholars have done research related to your research topic, you can refer to their literature review or research methods to find out what references they have used. This will help you find more relevant literature.

4. Attend academic conferences and seminars: Attending academic conferences and seminars is a good opportunity to communicate with other scholars and learn about the latest research results. At the meeting, you can listen to other scholars' reports and discuss your research topic with them. In this way, not only new reference materials can be obtained, but also academic networks can be established.
