Finding Articles Using EMU's Library and Getting Them Approved
Completion requirements
- Rather than using a Google search, use EMU’s library online search engine.
- From EMU’s library home page,
- Scroll down to “Finding Articles . . .”
- Click on Databases
- Choose CINAHL or Academic Search Complete
- Go to the search page and type your area of interest in Search
- Scroll down to Limit Search
- Choose Research and Evidence-Based Practice
- You should also limit the search to articles published within the last five years. Older articles are acceptable, however, if they seem to include timeless advice or evidence. Ask your professor.
- Quality improvement projects and other forms of evidence are okay. Try to limit the number of “expert opinion” articles (such as commentaries or editorials). Two or three are okay.
- If an article is not available in full text, request it from inter-library loan via a pre-filled request form
- Once you have found the article, save it in the pdf format
- For approval, use the link found in Moodle to go to your folder in Google Drive.
- Open folder
- Upload each article into your folder, then relabel the article
- Include the following
- Number the article for easy organization
- Name of first author plus "et al."
- Date of publication in parentheses
- Type of study: qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods
