Graduate Students

As a graduate level GCU student, research becomes a large part of your curriculum. Sometimes you want to take on additional research opportunities to  build your resume, make connections, or learn through hands-on research. Whatever your reason is, here are a few of our mostly commonly used resources that might be of interest to you.

GCU Library

It isn't just for finding articles! The GCU Library provides expert research and reference assistance to the scholarly community. In addition to interlibrary loan, journal selection guidance, citation management strategies and assistance with literature search strategies, the library provides support through several programs specifically developed for researchers. Among these are: Ask-A-Librarian for personalized assistance with creating effective search strategies for research topics, database navigation, resource tools, including RefWorks & EndNote Web, personalized database accounts, search alerts, citation formatting, persistent links, and more; and, Research Guides, which lists by topic of resources available in the Library and on the Internet to help you improve professional and technical writing skills. 

CIRT

The Center for Innovation in Research and Teaching isn't just for faculty. One of our most popular resources is Research Ready. In fact, one of our more popular Research Ready Certificates is "Dissertation to Publication" which helps learners turn their dissertation into a manuscript ready for submission in an academic journal. We have more than 20 asynchronous, self paced, training modules to help make sense of research concepts like developing a literature review, designing a survey, qualitative and quantitative methods, writing for publication, preparing for a presentation and more! We also offer opportunities to become involved in a study as a research assistant and maybe even publish in the Canyon Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies.

DC Network

The Doctoral Community (DC) Network is a unique virtual scholarly network that keeps learners well connected throughout their program and after graduation. Interactive communication, instant notification of new content and indexed search functionality enable collaboration and connection among individuals with similar academic interests. Communicate with faculty, peers and alumni and benefit from research, media, blogs and discussions. This resource is available only to GCU Doctoral Learners, Faculty and Staff. Login is required.
