Locating Scholarly Articles

Here are some suggested databases in which to search for your scholarly journal articles.

Remember that your article should contain some or all of the following sections:

♦ Abstract ♦ Introduction ♦ Methods ♦ Results ♦ Discussion ♦ Conclusion ♦ References ♦

To locate articles on a topic click on the appropriate link above and then enter a single word or phrase in the search box.

For example:

  • Memory
  • Perception
  • Sensory Processes

The chapter headings and sub-headings in your textbook will give you good terms to use as you begin your search.

To further narrow your search carefully select your search terms and use AND to combine them if needed. For example Personality AND self-esteem

To view an article of interest click on its 'HTML Full Text' or 'PDF Full Text' icon. To properly cite your article use the APA citation style

A number of library subscription databases will enable you to limit your searches to academic journals. It's as simple as putting a checkmark in the appropriate box, as illustrated below.
