Following are some suggested journals on composition and related topics. To search for a journal, type its title into the Journal Locator widget--use the drop down menu to search for a journal by title or keyword. You will then see a list of database(s) that include the journal; you can click each database title to go to the journal's homepage within the database and view all issues covered. Use the search box to search within the journal by keyword or article title (use quotation marks around complete titles). Finally, be sure to take note of coverage (publication years included in the database); you may need to request articles that MU Library does not have access to via our Interlibrary Loan service.
This excellent guide from the University of Arizona has great tips on choosing sources for your research-based assignments! The guide addresses:
Use research databases to search for articles. Most databases allow you to limit to scholarly or peer reviewed articles. Some databases will return full text articles, and abstracts or summaries of articles.
Look for the GET ARTICLE link in the detail screen to see if an article is available in another database. Most databases allow you to limit to full text. If an article is unavailable through Monmouth University Library it may be requested through Interlibrary Loan.
Subscription databases are available to Monmouth University students, faculty and staff. For remote log in, use your university username and password.
Use library databases to locate credible primary and secondary sources, including articles in newspapers and trade/scholarly journals.
