You may be required to distinguish between original research articles and review articles.
Original research articles are based on a study or experiment with a hypothesis. The authors will report the purpose of the study, the research methodology, and results. |
Non-original research articles include meta-analyses and reviews. These articles summarize or synthesize content from earlier published research and are useful for surveying the literature on a specific research area. |
1) Access to databases is available from the library home page using the Quick Search. Go to our databases Subject page for other options. View a video (below) to learn basic database searching tips. 2) Below are direct links to some databases for research in the Natural Sciences. Some of these databases have full-text immediately available. Others use the UCe-Links button. Click on the UCe-Links button next to an article to check if our library has full-text access. Example: ScienceDirect (also all full-text), BioOne (citations with UC-eLinks). |
