CCC Library has online access to several peer-reviewed gerontology journals. Select the journal title to be taken to a log in page. You can browse journal issues or search with keywords within the entire journal's run. (Embargo means the release of the newest article full text is delayed. Try out Interlibrary Loan, linked above, to access the full text of embargoed articles.)
You are tasked with finding a peer-reviewed pure research article published within the last 6 years in the the field of gerontology.
Filter to the right field/subject database
When you restrict an EBSCO or Gale search to bring back only items published in peer-reviewed journals, those results will still contain editorial and opinion pieces, book reviews, news blurbs, and other types of short, non-scholarly articles. These types of articles appear in peer-reviewed publications but are not always acceptable for academic research. Yikes! Always evaluate your sources before including them in your research.
And remember - a 10-20 page article is normal, and ideal for this assignment. Because you are critically examining this professional article, you need something with length and substance!
