What are
Refereed Articles ???
Magazine VS Scholarly publication

Refereed Articles Written by and for researchers/academics Longer articles written in a formal scholarly style to
share facts and research with the academic community
Specific, in depth Often include charts and graphs to support
research findings Usually no advertisements Include references and bibliography Reviewed by peers in the field for quality,
relevance and appropriateness of journal

How to Find Article Databases
Steps Click “Articles/Databases” tab on the
McMaster library homepage Search databases by subject if you are not
sure which database to choose Search database by name if you know which
database you are looking for

Identify main concepts Identify synonyms for these concepts (tip: use
online thesaurus) When phrase searching, enclose phrase in
quotation marks eg. “human computer interface” Use boolean operators: and, or, not Use proximity operators eg. near Use asterisk symbol * (truncation) for plurals or
alternative endings : * eg. canad* gets canada, canadian, canadians
Use wildcard symbol ? to replace a single character eg. wom?n for woman and women
