Review the differences between scholarly and popular articles, see how scholarly articles are organized and review the process of peer-review:
Many of our databases have this 
button or this 
button, which searches for the full-text of the article in our collections. If we don't have it electronically, look for the "Request article scan" link in the "Get It" section.
In addition, try searching non-science databases that relate to your research topic. For example, if you are writing about the developing skills in children using computers, first search a broad database like Web of Science and then search a subject specific database such as the education database called ERIC.
Articles on the same topic from different disciplines can offer different perspectives and different points of view.
A complete list of article databases by subject area is provided. Database search tips can help narrow your search and make your results more relevant.
