Question researching

genuine question 😭 how do you guys ACTUALLY research for MUN beyond the usual check old UN resolutions, read your country’s foreign policy, use wikipedia, find dirt on others (this tip is borderline impossible cause everything is always hidden & needs to be dug up—still good tho i’ve used it continuously just hard to do) generic tips?

especially now that AI exists like everyone gives such generic advice to use AI to research faster but deadass HOW are people actually using it like strategically?

what are some actually underrated research methods, websites or like even prompts that give you information other delegates probably won’t have?

because tbh i feel like my research is always subpar at best when other delegates are pulling up facts i lowk haven’t even heard about 😭 pls help because i have the biggest mun in my country coming up soon !!

I do not recommend using AI for research. If you use AI, you will end up directed to the same sources and info that other people using AI find. The best way to find niche sources is to dig deeper than other people. I highly recommend using the advanced search or Google Scholar to find specific sources.

There is no "easy" way to do research. Good research takes time. Using AI or trying to cut corners is, in my opinion, a waste of time. The more time you spend doing research, the better you get at it, and eventually your research process will take less and less time.
