Many research assignments require you to find and use scholarly articles.

You might also hear the term:

• peer-reviewed

• refereed 

• scientific 

Tips!

• Not sure where to start? Academic Search Ultimate is usually a pretty good bet.
• Try using a subject specific database. This is especially helpful for assignments in your major.
• Try a helpful research guide.  There is research guide for every major and there just might be a course research guide for your specific class!
• Ask a librarian! You can chat with us online even schedule a one-on-one Zoom research appointment.

Subject Specific Databases

Try searching some of these subject-specific databases for your topic alongside keywords like quantitative, qualitative, study, case study, action research, focus group, mixed methods, etc.  These are words that are used to describe particular methodologies in research and they will help you zero in on research-based articles.
