By now you have had a chance to experiment with the Library's Full Text Databases to find articles on your topic. An easy way to keep your results up to the level of academia is to let the database work for you.
Many of your instructors will require that the resources you use for your research topic be scholarly. This refers to the process of peer review; a requirement by professional journals that an article be put to a review board before publishing.
Remember, when entering your search terms in a full text database search, select, Scholarly - Peer Reviewed. This automatically limits your results to articles that have been reviewed by experts in the field of study that you are investigating.
For more on the peer review process, see, Peer Review Goes Under the Lens by Allyssa Kneller in Paradigm Magazine. Above illustration by James Yang
