Useful Library Databases for Identifying Topics (NOT for your peer-reviewed assignment)

Please Note: These databases are mainly useful for finding topic ideas.

CQ Researcher reports WILL NOT meet the scholarly, peer-reviewed source requirement.

Opposing Viewpoints articles may if you get your results from the Academic Journals section.

Your best bet to meet the scholarly journal article requirement is to use OneSearch, limit to peer-reviewed journals, and within the last 5 years. These are just meant to help you brainstorm your topic.

As always, let me know if you need help!
