Finding Articles and Key Practitioner Updates

For many assignments, our Discovery Service will give you enough sources to work with. This short video shows you how to get the best from Discovery.

Sometimes you may want to try specific databases or journals, including those with a practitioner focus - perhaps your lecturer has recommended particular sources as a good way of finding articles or practitioner information. This section lists key sources for Social Work.

• Why Use Journal Articles?

−

Scholarly, peer-reviewed journals are highly regarded as a source of academic information because they include expert opinions, research findings and references to follow up.

They are written by specialised professionals and academics (such as your lecturers) from around the world.

Finding, reading and referencing relevant journal articles will help you get the highest marks.
