Tips for finding articles

Remember, this article can count as one of the two articles you need to review in your research proposal. Choose an article based on how it fits the subject of your research proposal, not how convenient it is to find (e.g., because it's online). Try searching from the Social Sciences Citation Index of the library's "Web of Science" electronic database; if your search turns up too many references, limit it by entering some of the journal titles above in the "source title" field.

Not all articles published in research journals are bona fide empirical studies; many are theoretical discussions, reviews of other people's research, or other kinds of articles besides those which test a hypothesis using empirical data. Watch out for articles that are part of "Special Issues," "Forums" on special topics, "Responses" to particular authors.

If you're not sure whether your article fits these criteria, and/or you want to use one from another journal, show me your article.
