How to Find Better
Articles
Using Limits
LIMITS are another
good way to avoid looking through a lot of articles that don't interest
you. The limit options appear right under the search box and you can
choose as many limts as you like.
Limiting to articles with text is the
most useful limit. If you select this limit, all the articles you
find will be available full text on the computer.
Limiting to refereed publications was
already discussed in the section on evaluating an article. Use this
limit when your instructor asks you to find articles in scholarly
journals.
Limiting to the following journal(s)
would also only be used once in a while when you are searching for
a specific article and know in which periodical it appears.
