Applied Geophysics - Spring 2019

This guide was put together with the goal of helping students in Dr. Kristina Keating's Spring 2019 Applied Geophysics course get started with finding (3-4) peer-reviewed original research articles for their mini-scientific paper assignment.  It is intended to complement and supplement the April 17, 2019 library research instruction session.

By no means is this an exhaustive guide to doing research, so if you have any questions, please get in touch with Bonnie Fong (bonnie.fong@rutgers.edu) or Ask-A-Librarian! 

Students attending the April 17, 2019 library research session for Dr. Keating's Applied Geophysics class will learn how to:

• execute an effective search in library databases (such as GeoRef) in order to find peer-reviewed articles about their topic
• distinguish original research articles from other types of articles
• create APA style citations for articles using library databases (such as GeoRef)
