Articles
Why should I also try databases and journals?
There is no single website or search box in the world that can search every article ever published on the web, even the search on this page or Google Scholar (although both are great places to start). Sometimes, to find enough articles for your paper, you’ll have to search multiple databases and/or journals. Additionally, databases and journals provide a subject-specific search experience, which can be to your advantage.
