Friday 9th self-study

Hi all, this time Jim has given a very useful webside about how to search precise academic literature for our academic writting. It is a web-browser with a lot of different academic sources on which we can trust and relay on.Here is GOOGLE SCHOLAR...

Google scholar is an excellent way to search for academic information in detail.From it, we can go through different sources as: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Cool!!! now there is not time waste...


What are peer-reviewed journals?. They are acedemic journals with scientific periodicals articles in which submissions are reviewed and selected for publication by panels of experts in the field. Peer-reviewed journals can be identified by their editorial statements or instructions to authors (usually in first few pages of the journal or at the end), and also by consulting Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory, available online at: http://www.library.uiuc.edu/orr/get.php?instid=258215
What is Intute? Do you know any other similar sites. Intute is an educational free Uk webside that provides a data-base academic information in many different subjetcs. All material is evaluated and selected by specialists. Intute is like, a hand-built directory of the very best of the web for students, teachers and academics. Others useful database websides for those interested in science are PUBMED; SCIENCE DIRECT AND ELSEVIER, you can trust and relay on all the academic information they provide, PUBMED is one of my favorite although; because it has a very update and complete DNA, proteines and molecular information.
Do not forguet that you can trust and relay on all the academic information available on the web. Make sure you use a reliable web site based on academic sources, references, universities and institutions.Take some minutes to find out about how careful all the online information have been built and input in the database.
