Why Journal Articles?

Also known as "Scholarly Articles," "Peer-Reviewed Articles," or "Academic Articles," these are:

  • Written and reviewed by scholars and provide new research, analysis, or information about a specific topic.
    • "Review" means the article is approved by other experts before publication
  • Usually focused on a narrow subject or a single case study
  • Intended for an academic audience

Key Features of Journal Articles:

  • Provide new research, analysis, or information about a specific topic
    • The information is based on research and expertise
  • Usually focused on a narrow subject or a single case study
  • Intended for an academic audience

Why Use Databases

What is a scholarly database? 

A scholarly database organizes the best quality, most relevant information for a field or discipline in one place so it can be searched. Because there is so much scholarly research and so many different fields, databases specialize in which kinds of information or tools they provide. 

Why use a scholarly database? 

Scholarly databases take into account the important publications and research methods of a field or discipline. The database helps you make choices about which articles you want to see - by subject, dates of publication, overall topic, and more. Google and Google Scholar, while vast, do no quality control on the content they provide or give you good tools to narrow your focus. 

Boolean Operators

Boolean Operators are used in database and Internet searches to filter and improve results. They define the relationships between words and phrases so that your search will be more effective and retrieve more relevant results.
