Quick and Dirty Guide to Scientific Journals

Look for the Journal's Name

Each article will have a title name and also have the name of the journal it was published inside. Think of the journal as a container that has a lot of articles inside. The name of the journal will often give you a clue about the experts who worked on the articles. Look at the box on this page for examples of journals.

Skim the Abstract 

Your topic might have specific language that is in the abstract (also called the summary), so skim that small paragraph for words that match your topic. If it doesn't have those words, move on to a new article!

Scroll to the Conclusion

The very last paragraph in a scholarly article will often report on the results and have recommendations for future researchers. Don't waste your time with the rest of the article if the conclusion doesn't align with the topic you are researching.
