What are Academic Sources? And how to refer them?

-

The Internet is flooded with tons of information, where you will face a lot of confusion about what to read and what to refer to. Good sources are not just about the type and origin of information, but also the relevance and how you want to use it. Is the information good enough to be used in the current situation? If you feel you are in this situation, this is the right place.  Our article on the Science vs Social Science debate As a researcher, finding appropriate sources and facts remains the most challenging aspect of it. Compared to a normal opinion article or blog, which can use a lot of assumptions, half-truths, and narratives, etc. But when it comes to research articles, papers, journal articles, book chapters, etc., you cannot use the same information that the common man uses. This is where the filter should be bigger, better, and multilayered. Academic sources come with a guarantee, i.e., which you can trust 99%.

What Is It Like to Be a MUNner- An Experience Podcast

-

 Greetings to all listeners and readers!!

A MUN is not a mere non-academic activity happening in schools or colleges. It is a journey for many, while for others it's their life changer. Beyond the main MUN conference as such, there is a lot of things for a MUNner to take away from them and apply in one’s life. Here is an amazing surprise for all MUN enthusiasts. 

MUN has moved beyond the traditional space and has always been taken seriously as a passionate activity by many of the students. They are nicknamed as ‘MUNners’ in the circuits. MUN is a simulated model of the United Nations and converted into a form that students can understand and comprehend well. Since March 2020, with the raging pandemic, gatherings have been cancelled across the globe, so are MUNs. Online MUNs are now substituting the traditional ones. 

If you don't know what a MUN is, then please read. 

We present to you a podcast episode recorded and streamed in a joint collaboration between the MEC MUN Society and the Journal of Knowledge.

On 1st July, the results of the New York City Mayoral Democratic Party Primary were out. Whoever wins the democratic primary is likely to be the mayor of NYC. Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Party Primary. The City follows a ranked choice system where votes are transferred to a higher candidate until someone achieves at least 50% of the vote. Mamdani was leading in the first round before the transfer of votes. He defeated the long-time veteran of New York Politics, Andrew Cuomo, 56-44 in the second round. Hence, now Mamdani will head towards the final New York Mayoral election in November.  This article is not about him, his ideology or whether that will help New York City; rather, it is about how he managed to win the election and what both parties of the USA, as well as any political enthusiast, can learn from that.  Founded by the Dutch in 1624, New York City is the largest city in the USA and is the heart of Wall Street, the symbol of free market capitalism...
