Introduction

This guide was put together with the goal of helping students in Dr. Karina Schafer’s Fall 2022 Plant Physiology course get started with finding peer-reviewed journal articles for their research project and presentation assignments.  It is intended to complement and supplement the September 15, 2022 library research instruction session.

By no means is this an exhaustive guide to doing library research, so if you have any questions related to biology literature research, please contact Naomi Gold or Bonnie Fong at dana_science@libraries.rutgers.edu.  For general library-related questions, Ask-A-Librarian.

Learning Objectives

Students attending the September 15, 2022 library research session for Dr. Karina Schafer's Plant Physiology class will learn how to:

  • execute effective searches in indexes/databases such as Ecology Abstracts and CAB Abstracts in order to find journal articles about their topic 
  • determine if an article is published in a peer-reviewed journal
  • identify the different methods to access the full-text of an article
  • create citations in the style of the Agricultural and Forest Meteorology journal using EndNote online/basic/Web
