• Determine what journals are published in the field of interest. • Check if the journals are subject to peer-review. Without peer-review the journal is of little interest to a scientist. • Critically evaluate the source. Just because it is science or published does not necessary mean the information is true or accurate. • Gain access to online databases. Become familiar with the following databases: Pubmed [1] (psychiatry, neurology, neuroscience and medicine related fields), Psychinfo [2], Science Direct [3] (neuroscience, psychology and much more) • Learn how the search function works for each database. • Gain access to open access journals. Search Google with the search string “field-of-interest open access journal” (without the quotes). Locate the latest research. When searching for the latest publications in a database or browsing an open access journal look for the latest publications. Choose your settings carefully when searching or select the latest edition when browsing.
