Finding Scholarly Articles
See also: Finding Scholarly Articles video
In order to find scholarly articles in Primo 1Search, use the "Articles and more" search index to limit your initial results.
Apply the "Peer -reviewed journals" limiter in the left-hand sidebar to your results. Peer-reviewed journals are those that require each article to be evaluated by other researchers prior to publication to evaluate the quality of the research.
In any list of results you can identify "peer-reviewed" results because they will have this purple symbol.
Depending upon your assignment and instructor requirements, you may also need to restrict your results to those that were published within a specific time period, like within the last 2, 5 or 10 years. Use the Creation Date option in the left-hand sidebar to set this limit. Click Refine to process your selection.
After you find an article that looks good in the list, click on the title to see more about it.
Scroll down to review the Description section, which contains the Abstract. An abstract is a summary of the contents of the article.
If the article looks like it meets your needs, scroll up to the View Online section. Click on the database name to view the full text of the article.
To get a permalink to the article, print the full text, or email the full text to yourself or someone else, use the options in the database where you actually access the full text.
"Send to" options in a Primo 1Search record work differently than you may expect. They simply link to and print or transmit information about the item information, not the actual item itself. This is because 1Search is a tool to connect you to resources; it doesn't actually contain resources.
