You can search through the CSN Libraries Find Articles page to search for peer-reviewed research on your topic. 

Whether you are searching through the CSN Library catalog or a specific database, using filters will help you narrow down the results to get the type of sources best-suited for your research. The image below is an example of the recommended filters you can use on the library's catalog. If you are searching through a specific database, the filters may look different but remain generally the same. 

Recommended filters:

• Full Text Online will ensure that you are able to read the full article, not just an excerpt.
• Peer Reviewed Journals will give you articles that have been reviewed by experts in the field to ensure academic quality.
• Selecting Journal Articles narrows down your search to the type of material you are interested in.
• For science-related research, try searching for sources from the last 5-10 years as information is rapidly changing.
• Choose relevant topic areas under Subject (ex. Anthropology, Social Sciences).

I've listed a few useful databases for you below, but please feel free to browse through our complete list of CSN's Political Science databases on our website. To access the articles for free, log in using your student ID number for your username and your Canvas password.
