On these pages, you will find links to the premiere research databases in your subjects and disciplines.  You will also find links to citation tools, and all sorts of information for keeping up with the current research on your topic or in your field.

To successfully plan and complete your thesis please consult our Research Paper Planner, which will guide you through the 13 steps of the research and writing process.  You'll be able to see the deadlines for each stage of the process and link to helpful resources at Baylor and other universities. 

We recommend that you treat each chapter of your thesis as a separate paper for the purpose of planning using the Research Paper Planner. 

The planner links to the Research Paper Planner:Guide and can be useful independently of the planner as well.
