to make your research reliable, you must use your sources fairly and accurately, in this chapter\, we explain how to engage your sources productively and how to take notes so that they futher you thinking and so that your audience can trust you when you rely on or critique a source.
in this chapter, we show you how to get the most out of your sources, exspecially your secondary sources, we have closen this focus for a simple r3eason , it is a topic on which we can offer useful, general advice, the ways that researchers findor create their data, and the kind of data audiences expert as evidence.
vary wildly from field to field , historians and literary critics tupically mine primary sources for evidence, other researchers , however, do not use primary sources at all , depending on their fields
Research is not collecting sources; research is thinking with sources.
Taking notes is not just about recording and accumulating sources and data; it’s also about processing and understanding them
this second purpose is the more important one.
原文：
“Experienced researchers know that just recording a source in a spreadsheet or having it open in a browser tab doesn’t mean that they have understood it or that it has benefited their own thinking.”
这是这一节非常重要的一句话。
中文：
有经验的研究者知道：
仅仅把一个资料记录进电子表格，或者把它打开在浏览器标签页里，并不意味着自己已经理解了它，也不意味着这个资料已经促进了自己的思考。
They don’t read passively; they engage their sources actively, entering into conversation with them.
最后给你一个研究者式阅读的“脑内五问”
以后你读任何一篇文章，不要只问：
① 作者说了什么？
再继续问：
② 作者为什么这么说？
③ 作者的论证是怎么建立起来的？
④ 什么地方让我困惑、感兴趣或者产生疑问？
⑤ 这篇文章让我自己的思考发生了什么变化？
其中 ⑤ 是最重要的。
因为 The Craft of Research 这一章真正想教你的，不是：
如何把别人说的话记下来。
而是：
如何通过与别人思想的互动，形成自己的研究。
