The annotated, citation-verified reference library for this module. · 3 min
Every (Author, Year) link in this module points here. Each entry has its APA-7 reference, a DOI
or stable link, and a one-line note on when to cite it. Tools and frameworks referenced inline
(the Heilmeier Catechism, OSF, the Scrum Guide, NSF proposal conventions) are linked directly from
the lessons rather than listed here.

Foundational review of help-seeking in tutoring systems — help offered is not the same as help used. Cite as an adjacent-domain analogy for CS help-seeking.

The definitive overview of Registered Reports, where a study is peer-reviewed and accepted on its question and design before any data are collected. Cite for the principle that a study should be worth doing regardless of how the results turn out.

How to actually integrate qualitative and quantitative strands—connecting, building, merging, and joint displays—rather than reporting them side by side. Cite for why a joint display yields a takeaway (confirmation, expansion, or discordance) regardless of the statistical result.

Multi-institution study of how novices actually debug (often 'flailing' without a plan). Cite for evidence on novice debugging behavior; a natural snowball from McCauley et al.
