HCC - Finding Peer-Reviewed Articles on EBSCO
The document provides instructions for finding peer-reviewed articles on EBSCO databases in 3 easy steps. The first step is to perform a search as normal. The second step is to click the "Scholarly (peer-reviewed) Journals" option under "Limit Your Results" to filter results to only peer-reviewed articles. The third step is to click search to view the peer-reviewed journal results. For modifying an existing search, the instructions note it is also easy to click "Search More" and then "Scholarly (peer-reviewed) Journals" to limit the results.
HCC - Scholarly Sources
This document discusses the differences between popular and scholarly sources and how to identify scholarly sources. Popular sources like magazine and newspaper articles provide current information but are generally not written by experts. Scholarly journal articles are written by authorities in their field and provide comprehensive insights along with details on methodology and research practices. To identify a scholarly source, look for elements like an abstract, author credentials, citations, data presentation, and extensive references. Scholarly journals will be focused on a specific topic and aimed at informing experts in that field. A source is more likely to be peer-reviewed if it explicitly states that or if searching online indicates the journal undergoes peer review.
Sources of Information For Research
The document discusses different sources of information for research including the internet, magazines, academic journals, books, and encyclopedias. The internet provides access to current information from various sources but not all information is reliable. Magazines contain general articles on popular topics and current events. Academic journals contain scholarly peer-reviewed articles and point to other relevant research. Books provide detailed information and context on topics while encyclopedias provide concise overviews on a wide range of topics or within a subject field.
Sociology 462
This document provides guidance on conducting medical sociology research. It discusses citation management using RefWorks, basic search strategies like using Boolean operators, narrowing and expanding searches using asterisks and proximity searches. It also discusses selecting the appropriate database, keeping track of citations, and contacting the librarian for help.
Types of Resources
There are two main types of resources: print and electronic. Print resources include primary and secondary sources such as books, periodicals, and reference materials. Primary sources are original, unedited information while secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources. Electronic resources include e-books, databases, websites, and more. Knowing the differences between resource types helps find the most relevant information for research needs. The document provides examples and tips for evaluating various information sources.

The document provides tips for finding and reviewing newspaper articles. It recommends searching comprehensive news sources using keywords and Boolean operators, as well as limiting searches by industry, subject, or region. It also suggests gathering details from original reports to search for them directly and considering creative search terms to identify the origins of articles.
Information containers and citing
This document discusses information containers and how they impact research. It defines an information container as anything that holds information, such as books, articles, blogs, emails and tweets. The type of container determines the depth and type of information it contains. For example, a tweet provides immediacy but little analysis, while an encyclopedia gives an overview but less detail. The container also dictates how the information within it is cited based on citation styles like APA, MLA and Chicago. Choosing the right container depends on the type of information needed. The document provides examples of containers for different research needs and describes scholarly versus non-scholarly sources.
Finding Sources
The document provides guidance on finding sources for an issue analysis by having students identify their issue and research question, stakeholders, and initial keywords. It then instructs students to search library databases, news sites, and Google for a mix of 25-30 sources on the issue, including newspaper articles, op-eds, political cartoons, scholarly articles, blogs, and comments. Students are told to save sources to Evernote with tags for stasis and themes, along with citations and brief notes.
Keyword Vs. Subject Searching
This document provides an overview of the differences between keyword and subject searches when researching a topic. It defines keywords as descriptive words from a title or text, while subject headings are standardized terms assigned to materials on a topic.

Overview of Scientific literature
Scientific literature began with the earliest science journal in 1665 called The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. This journal was significant because it published papers by famous scientists like Newton and Darwin and began the practice of peer review. A key part of scientific research articles is that they are published in peer-reviewed journals and have distinguishable sections like the abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion. Databases like Academic Search Complete and CINAHL provide access to scientific research articles and tips for effective searching.

Full Title of Paper
Student Name
PSY2010 Abnormal Psychology
Abstract
The abstract is on a page of its own after the title page. It is a brief summary of the content of your paper (typically 50-150 words but no more than 200). It is not indented and the word abstract at the top of the page is not bold since it is not a heading within the paper.
Full Title of Paper
This is the first page of the body of your paper. The full title of your paper is repeated at the top of the page. Like with the abstract, the title at the top of the page is not bold since it is not considered a heading within the paper. You will see below that headings within the paper are in bold and follow the heading styles required by the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.; American Psychological Association, 2009).
This first section of your paper is the introduction of your paper. This introduction is one page in length at a minimum. It is not labeled separately. It introduces the topic of your paper and the points you intend to make. Why is this topic important to psychology? This section also introduces how your paper will be organized, such as stating that you will review the historical background of the topic and then follow it with an overview of related current trends and discussion.
Literature Review
This is the beginning of your literature review. Keep in mind, the literature review is not just a summary of each individual article. It is also a critical analysis of your topic supported by information you learned when reading the background literature. Your APA formatted citations for the sources of the information you are discussing is your indication of the literature reviewed.
Subheading 1 Example
Depending on your topic, you may find it necessary to use subheadings within sections of your document. For example, if you are comparing and contrasting the different theories or treatments for the disorders based on the articles you reviewed.
Subheading 2 Example
Only use subheadings if you have more than one area you want to distinguish as a sub-section. Otherwise, leave them out and simply use separate paragraphs.
Discussion and Conclusions (1-2 pages minimum)
This section of your paper is where you discuss your opinions about the topic you have been covering (backed by the information you have learned and citations for that information). What are the similarities and differences between what you learned in reviewing the literature and what you previously knew about the topic? What is the quality of the research you found on this topic? Did you find ...
