 So you've been running a few searches in the PsychInfo database, maybe you've run some keyword searches, or maybe you've tried using the thesaurus to find a specific index term that you can start building into your search. Regardless, you've found a couple articles that seem relevant to your research and you're pretty excited about them, but you need to find even more articles. There are two ways in which you can find additional articles. The first is by looking at research that's come in the past or before an article of interest. Let's jump into one of these articles as a starting place. From the search that I've run with using the index term animal assistive therapy, stress, and colostunes, I've found an article that looks relevant to me. It's called heading away pre-exam stress, the effects of therapy dog sessions on students' well-being. This is my base article. It's the one that I maybe started my research from. Remember that if you're looking for a quick citation tool, you can use the tools column over here on the right and click on the citation button in the middle. This gives you the citations in all the major citation styles, APA being one of them. So let's say we've read the abstract of this article and maybe we've even opened up the PDF and started reading the first couple pages and this is exactly what we need for our research. We want to know, how can I find more articles just like this? Well, one way is by looking at research that's come before this article. And the best way to do that is by scrolling all the way down full text of your article and looking at the references. We're looking at all the research of the authors of this article consulted while they were doing their study. Recall these articles in a reference list, the ancestors. It's the research that's come before. But looking at people's references can be one of the best ways to help build your own bibliography. The next step is to actually start identifying some of the articles in this reference list and seeing, do you actually want to go and find them? When I scroll down through a reference list like this, I'm looking at the title of the articles themselves and asking myself if this is close to what it is that I'm researching. One that jumps out at me from this list is this research by Hagerty and Mueller from 2017, Animal Assist's Stress Production, Programs and Higher Education. That seems pretty relevant. I also like this article because it's fairly recent. It was published only a few years ago. A good tip to remember when starting your research into ancestor articles is from whatever your base article is, it's published relatively recently. So that way, all of the articles in your reference list are fairly recent as well. This one from 2017 looks like a good match. Now what we need to do is go and find this article. Everything that we need for finding it is contained right here in this citation. Citations are maps to the research. The first thing that we need is the title of the journal and that's what's listed in italics here, Innovative Higher Education. I'm going to go ahead and copy that and go all the way back to my library homepage. From the library homepage, I want to click on the journals tab and then the link to search journal finder. Journal finder is a specialized search engine that allows you to look up the names of journals to see if Gordon has access to them. We're going to type in that journal we just copied, Innovative Higher Education and click search. If Gordon has access, an access option will appear here usually in the form of a link to one of our library databases. In this case, that link is the academic search ultimate. I need to confirm to make sure that the access options, the year range over here, in this case 1997 to the present, is the same as the year that my article was published. A quick check on that citation says that this was published in 2017. So this access and academic search ultimate should work for me. I'm going to go ahead and click on the link. When you jump into the access option from the journal finder search, you're looking at the landing page for the journal itself. You can drill into the specific year of your article or you can use the search within this publication to actually search by keyword within this specific journal. I'm going to go back to my citation here and copy the title of this article, Animal Assisted Stress Reduction Programs in Higher Education. I'm going to use that as my search terms paired with the journal Innovative Higher Education. Go ahead and click search. Since we're searching by something so specific, the exact title of the article, you should only get one result. And there it is right there. The article we're looking for. I can click on the title. I can learn more about it, the authors, the source, read the abstract. And there's that PDF full text right there that I'm looking for. So remember this is Ancestor Articles, articles that have come in the past.
