Where to find Scholarly Articles

You may use the following reputable resources to find scholarly articles. DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA!!

Reminder: your articles must be at least 4 pages in length and related to your health project topic!

SAVE YOUR ARTICLES IN PDF FORMAT. You will need to submit a PDF copy of each article with your project. 

There are a number of databases out there, but here are a few that I recommend:

Pfau Library: https://www.csusb.edu/library/find

Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/

Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ 

 https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/resources.

Here is an example of a scholarly journal article that would be acceptable to use for the project.

A few things to notice:

• Title of the journal it was published in: Health Policy and Planning (top right corner)
• Includes a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) #: 10.1093/heapol/czn022 (top right corner)
  • DOI is a unique number that is often given to articles (but not all)
• You’ll often see an “Abstract” at the beginning of the article (however, this example does not have one)
