ZBW - Tutorials: How to obtain and evaluate information

Scientific work has to be learned.

At the Department of Socioeconomics, people study with very different learning habits and examination experiences. In the Interdisciplinary Basic Course you will be introduced to scientific work, practice presenting, questioning and classifying information. The ZBW - Leibniz Information Center for Economics has created practice-relevant videos under the heading "My first term paper" precisely for this purpose.

Professor Fritsche is a member of an expert advisory board of the ZBW. If you have any suggestions for the tutorial videos, we would be happy to hear from you!

The ZBW tutorials (available in German only) support you in overcoming uncertainty in evaluating information, in scientific work as well as in independent research.

Video 01:	Why do I need good information in the first place?
Video 02:	How do I search for scientific information and technical papers?
Video 03:	How do I judge the quality of scientific information?
Video 04:	How do I recognize "fake news"?
Video 05:	How do I obtain scientific information?

These videos were produced as part of the project YES! - Young Economic Summit.
The YES! is a joint project of the ZBW - Leibniz Information Center for Economics and the Joachim Herz Foundation.

We all learn in different ways! You can also approach the topic in a different way, for example through an interactive presentation on the topic, the so-called "Guided Walk".

You can find journals, working papers and conferences in BWL and VWL in the subject portal EconBiz.
