DATABASES
~ To find articles written by your scientist, change your search to specifically look at the Author fields. It is also helpful to format your search to: <last name, first name>. ~ Do not wait until the last minute to find an article by your scientist -depending on your scientist you may have to use InterLibrary Loan to obtain your article which can take up to 2 weeks to arrive. It may also take some time to read the article, especially if it is technical. Choose well, if you can’t understand the abstract, the article may be even tougher to read.
General hints for searching databases:
- Web of Science:Social Sciences Citation Index and Science Citation Index Expanded : Multidisciplinary index to the journal literature of the social sciences and sciences, 1990 – present. This database is only helpful if your scientist published after 1990.
