When we are looking for articles on a specific topic, the best way to search is using a database. Databases used for academic research are bibliographic databases. They are a useful research tool to find articles on a specific topic. Unlike Google, an algorithmic natural language search, bibliographic databases use keywords and/or subject headings to search through large indices of high-quality academic journals, with many filter options to easily narrow your results.
The instructions for how to use a database will depend on which database provider you are using. Usually we use OVID or EBSCOhost.
1. Click the ARTICLES tab and type in the topic. Tip: for phrases, use quotation marks around the words.
