Advanced Writing in the Disciplines (AWD) : 3308 (Social Sciences)

If this is a new topic, get definitions for your terms from 

International Encyclopedia of Social and Behavioral Science, 2nd edition --major resource to help define your research terms and concepts, such as critical race theory, gentrification, or equity

Use Scholar OneSearch --similar to Google, but better for finding articles from peer-reviewed journals

NOTE: use the quotation marks to search for phrases, and the Filter My Results menu to get articles from peer-reviewed journals.

Try an interdisciplinary database, such as Academic Search Complete (does NOT search like Google!) but has helpful subject tags to help focus your search:



 

or JSTOR-- use the Advanced Search to select the subject collection(s) in your research area.



Check the subject guides to find Key Resources in your research area: databases, statistics, and onine reference tools.
