Finding further journal articles on your topic
There will be occasions when you will wish to extend and
update the references you have been given, for example when
writing an essay or doing research. The best way to find
references in the periodical literature is to use indexing and
abstracting services.
Some
definitions
| Indexes
Are lists, usually in alphabetical order, enabling you to find information on a particular subject or by a particular author. Most journals produce their own indexes. |
Abstracts
Are summaries of a piece of work, usually in enough detail to allow you to decide if the original item is worth consulting. |
Reviews These articles critically examine work in a subject area, comparing the contributions of workers in that area. They give a broad picture, useful in exploring a new subject. They appear in special review publications: in Education, for example, there is a periodical: Review of educational research They may appear as articles in a periodical which also contains original work. It is possible to find these using indexes and abstracts, or using the ‘limit’ function on CD ROMs. |
Many key resources are now available electronically as CD ROM or online services.
