Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the World of Research writing. As a first year undergraduate student, you will be taking your first step into research writing and using others’ work as references. As NUS students, you are privileged that the university is paying for subscriptions to allow you unlimited access to journals from all over the world from various disciplines. However, try accessing such journals without using the university’s portal and often not you will hit a pay-wall in most scholarly journal engines. This often leads to frustrations as you will have to pay in order to access these journals.
