Scholarly publications are often highly specialized, focusing on specific subjects to share research findings and foster academic discourse within particular fields. Consequently, exploring the publication where your original article was published may uncover similar or related articles.
To locate a specific publication within the Library’s collection, you can navigate to the “Find a Resource” tab on the Library’s homepage or access it through the Research Resources section. Enter the name of the publication you are looking for and click search. The search results will indicate whether the Library subscribes to the publication, the subscription years available, and the databases containing the full text, providing valuable insights into accessing related scholarly content.
To explore the publication further, click on the linked database name. This allows you to browse the publication by volume/issue or conduct a search within it. In many databases, you’ll find a “Search within” box where you can enter your keywords directly. However, in EBSCOhost databases, you’ll need to click on the “Search within this publication” link to access the search screen.
Afterwards, input the keywords linked to your original article, as demonstrated below. Your search outcomes are expected to encompass similar or related articles.
