Tips for Finding Articles

2) What are the best databases to use for my topic? (Cursor over the "Finding Articles" tab above, click on your subject area: Journalism Databases, Public Relations, etc.)

3) How do I find scholarly articles? (See the "Peer Reviewed/ Scholarly Journals" box below)

4) How can I guarantee the timeliness or currency of my results? Do I need to limit my search results by the publication year? (See "Timeliness/Currency - Limiting by Publication Date" box in next column)

5) How do I know if the article I've found is good research? (Go to "Evaluate Your Resources" tab above or click here)
