Finding & Using Scholarly Articles
This document provides an overview of scholarly articles, including what they are, how to identify them, why they are important to use in academic work, and how to find and evaluate them. Key points include:
- Scholarly articles report original research, are authored by specialists, and published in academic journals. They use formal language, citations/bibliographies, and research methodologies.
- They are expected in academic work to provide credibility, as the authors undergo rigorous peer review over more than a year.
- Typical sections include abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion/conclusion, and bibliography. Databases like CPIQ, Proquest, and library resources can be used to access scholarly articles.
Scholarly articles
Extended essays require the use of scholarly articles, which are written by researchers or experts in their field. Scholarly articles are based on original research and experimentation, and build on previous ideas and discoveries by properly citing other research through references. Using scholarly sources is important for research papers because it allows students to contribute to the ongoing creation of new knowledge in a field by building upon and properly crediting previous work. The document provides information on finding scholarly articles through databases like EBSCO, Google Scholar, and a federated search of the KAUST University library, as well as open access journals. It encourages students to search these resources to find at least two scholarly articles to use in their own research.
Explore Your World with EBSCO's Explora
An instructional presentation for my LIS 702 course at Dominican University (a graduate Library and Information Science course). The assignment tasks students with creating a PowerPoint presentation instructing users to use a reference source cited in a previous assignment. I am not affiliated with EBSCO or the Schaumburg Township District Library; I assumed the role of a reference librarian at the Schaumburg Township District Library to meet the parameters of the assignment. I would be delighted if you find this guide helpful, however!
