Research & Writing Process

A walk-through on the entire research process. Includes tips and examples to help you decipher your assignment, make a research plan, choose a topic, find your sources, and write your papers.

Finding more sources with cited references

One of your first steps in finding similar resources should be to thoroughly examine the reference list of your article to identify the sources used by the author(s). The sources included in the bibliography will be older by nature, so make sure to keep any date restrictions as described in your assignment in mind.  

If a title in the reference list looks like it could be of use, you may want to search for this new article in the Library. You can easily do this by copying/pasting the article title into the ONEsearch box on the Library’s home page

A number of Library databases will include hyperlinks to Cited References or Bibliographies. While you can always review a list of references at the end of any scholarly / peer-reviewed article or eBook.
