• Many of these sites provide abstracts free.

  full articles.

Notes (continued)

• In general, abstracts are sufficient for text
  analysis.
• If you can find one or two full-text articles,
  use them for reading comprehension AND text
  analysis.

Notes (continued)

• You should take some time near the beginning of
  the course to visit these sites and find the best
  journal for you.
• If you cannot find a journal in exactly the same
  field as yours, dont worry! A journal from a
  related field is good, too.

5
Notes (continued)

• General, serious science journals, such as
  Nature, are also good. And popular science
  magazines like New Scientist are good, too.
• For many students, the AWL Gapmaker, used on
  abstracts, may be an important part of your
  project work.

6
Notes (continued)

• You should document your search for journal
  articles
• where did you look?
• did you browse or search?
• what words did you use to search?
• what journals did you find that were not
  appropriate for you?
