Topics Guides

Sometimes when your teacher assigns an essay, it’s hard to know where to begin your research and writing process.  Gathering basic information and narrowing down the overall themes and issues associated with your topic can be a good place to start. Now EasyBib can help you with these crucial first steps.

Introducing EasyBib Topic Guides! We’ve taken a look at some of the most popular topics that students are citing on EasyBib and created topic pages to provide guidance as you start your research.

Each of these guides will give you a basic overview of your subject, highlight some popular questions associated with the topic, and direct you to credible hand-picked sources for more detailed information. If your teacher has given you the freedom to choose what you would like to write about, these guides are a great place to find topic ideas for your paper or project.

Here’s a few you can check out now:

  • Global Warming

  • The Catcher in the Rye

  • Human Cloning

  • The Great Gatsby
