Why use a database instead of Google?
Databases are not the same as websites!
- A database is a collection of information published electronically by a credible source or publishing company. The information in a database is arranged into records that can be searched by a computer.
- While you may find a lot of results when using Google, Bing, or other search engines on the web, these results may not be appropriate to cite in your actual paper. Instead, search the internet to brainstorm ideas and then research those concepts in the databases.
- The majority of scholarly articles found within a database are not freely available on the internet.
Is the journal peer reviewed?
- UlrichswebSearch the Ulrichsweb directory for the journal name in your citation. The journal is peer reviewed if there is a black book icon with white vertical lines in the "refereed" column.
