Problem 1:
A. Enter your term, e.g. "child welfare" [The quotation marks keep the two words together in the results.] Scroll down the page and on the right-hand side, checkmark the option for Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals >> Click on the green Search. You may want to also checkmark the option for Full Text (on the left-hand side of the screen when you have results.]
B. Search for five articles that you think should be included in a literature review of your chosen topic, based on your experience in this course.
C. All five articles must be academic, peer-reviewed literature.
To verify that your articles are Peer-reviewed, go to Ulrichsweb Global Serials Directory.
- Go to the OCLS website to access Ulrichsweb Global Serials Directory. (Select General, under Article Databases >> select Ulrichsweb Global Serials Directory >> login with your MyIWU information)
- Once in Ulrichs, select "Advanced Search" >> enter the title of the journal (not the article) in the Title field >> Select "Search." Your title should populate at the top of the table and you should see a referee's shirt in the column to the left of the journal title, if your journal is peer-reviewed. It will be blank if it is not peer-reviewed.
Problem 2: Once you have confirmed that the articles are published in peer-reviewed, academic journals, compose a paper that gathers the following data from each source in one document:
- A summary of the article
- A reflection statement of the relevance of the research of your topic
