Online Academic ResearchGoogle and Wikipedia are great starting points, but not sufficient for academic purposes. This guide shares ways in which you can prepare for your next research project, including identifying appropriate and credible resources, using special-topic search engines and citing the sources you find.
Traditionally, academic journals are closed publications available only to those who pay for a subscription. University libraries subscribe to many of these journals and subscription-based databases, such as JSTOR, which you can access online while you are a student. Today there are also more open access journals than ever before, providing you with full-text articles online without a fee.
