Finding Articles
The databases below will help you find articles. It is not an exhaustive list, but these are good places to start.
To find articles by a particular author, use the advanced search and the last name and initial(s) in the author field. If the person has a common last name, you might also want to add their institution or a topic.
Limit your results to articles published since 2007.
Make sure you choose a scientific research article and not a review paper or report or news item.
Some databases give you the option of clicking to find related articles.
