Tips for searching for scholarly articles in ProQuest Psychology Journals
There are many ways to get to ProQuest Psychology Journals; this is one way:
· From the Learning Commons home page, https://guides.cmcc.edu/LearningCommons
· Select A-Z list
· Select ProQuest Psychology Journals
If you are searching off campus, you will be asked for your student ID number and your last name
You will land on the Advanced Search Page
Think of what keywords you want to use and type them in each box, combining them with AND/OR/NOT as needed
Notice the limiters in the drop down box. Depending on your results, you can adjust these. For example
· Anywhere except full text (the default search) is a good general keyword search
· Try searching just the Abstract if the above is too many
· Use a subject search if you need to limit and narrow your results a lot, it’s like a topic search
Limit to Full Text Documents
Limit to Peer reviewed
Update your publication dates to either the last 10 years or the last 5 years depending on your topic
Select or exclude any document types that are appropriate. For example, you should not use the following for this assignment
· Commentary
· Editorial
· Correspondence
If you can limit (or include) results to just retrieve Case study, this would be best
