 Finding sources can be tricky. However, there are a few strategies for making the process a bit more seamless. The first strategy is to investigate the research that has influenced an article you are reading. As you are reading an article on your topic, pay close attention to the sources the author cites. Research articles introduction and or literature review sections are great places to focus in on as they introduce research previously published on the topic. As you are reading, if a topic sounds interesting, take note of the author and the year cited. Then, scroll down to the article's reference list and find the author and the year you are looking for. Once you've found the citation, copy the entire citation. Then in a new tab, open Google Scholar and paste the citation you found, then click Search. If you haven't synced your Google Scholar account with USU, watch this video to ensure you get free access to articles USU subscribes to. Google Scholar will pull up the citation and if USU has access to it, you can click the Full Text at Utah State option to read the article. You can also simply scan the article's reference list to see if an article title sounds relevant and interesting. Again, you copy and paste the citation into Google Scholar to get quick access. The second strategy is to investigate articles that were influenced by an article you found useful. Paste the article citation in Google Scholar, but instead of accessing the article's PDF, click the Ascited By link beneath the sources abstract. This pulls up a list of sources that have cited that article. You can scroll through the results to find relevant articles to read, or click the Search Within Citing Articles to do a keyword search. If you are unable to access full text of articles, you can always request an article through interlibrary loan on the library's website, or reach out to a librarian for assistance.
