Hi Wolfgang.

The term "research", as it is applied to this paper, is only research that I will be doing with already published information. I will not be doing any original research of my own in this case. It is permissible with this paper to use anecdotal information that I can then tie into existing research.

This is not a scientific paper. Its purpose is to familiarize me with the process of researching existing information that has been generated by someone else.

Thanks for your input.

Carol
