For this project, you are required to use at least 5 scholarly articles to support your research and recommendations.
Scholarly articles are written by scholars and experts of their field. They are submitted to research journals where they undergo an extensive peer-review process prior to publication to ensure the information is valuable (or new), verifiable, ethical, and thoroughly researched.

You're ready to start! You can find articles in a couple different ways: by using databases that compile thousands of different sources (Google Scholar, EBSCOhost Business Source Ultimate, etc.) or by searching within specific journals. These methods are outlined below.
1. Search within databases that contain articles from multiple sources, including journals approved by your instructor.
2. Search directly within the approved journals.
Realistically, you will do a bit of both, conducting several searches in different databases and/or journals. One strategy is to browse some journals to get a sense for the OB/MGMT topics and keywords, then conduct a database search to broaden your results. Later, you might dive back into some specific journals to add perspective or gather more keyword ideas and repeat the process.
However you conduct your search, it is a good practice to gather articles from a variety of authors and publications. This diversity increases the integrity of your research because your supporting evidence will not rely on just a single study or perspective.
As described above, some databases contain multiple approved journals. These are listed below each database link, along with tips on using the database when necessary. Keep in mind the pros and cons:
Each link will take you to a landing page for full-text access to that specific journal. This page may be within a larger database (Business Source Ultimate) or a smaller platform specific to the publisher (Wiley Online).
