Finding the full text of articles you found online

Looking for a Dissertation? ProQuest Dissertations & Theses

Looking for Conference Proceedings?

When looking for the full-text of conference proceedings, begin at the Pace Library homepage: www.pace.edu/library

Click on "Journal Title" tab above the search box and type in the conference you are looking for.  After clicking "search" you should get a list of databases that index your conference and if nothing appears you can try Google Scholar and if that does not work you can request an inter-library loan.

Sometimes you can also find conference proceedings online by checking the website of the organization that sponsored the conference.

Is My Article Peer-Reviewed?

Google can help you find if a journal article is peer-reviewed.  
  • Note the name of the journal from the citation. 
  • Type the name "in quotes," into the regular version of Google in order to find that journal's homepage, eg "Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis."  TIP: Journals typically state the fact that they are "peer reviewed" (also known as “refereed” or “juried” or "blind reviewed."  If, in the description, none of those words are used then it is likely not "peer reviewed."
