Scientific articles are written by experts to advance the study of science. They can be found in scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals. Here is an example of a scientific article.
Scientific articles are often presented with the following sections:
- Title & Author Information
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Review of Literature
- Methodology
- Findings/Results
- Conclusions/Discussion
- Further Study
- Works Cited/References
There are several different places to search for scholarly journal articles in a scientific journal. From the MiraCosta Library homepage, click on the link to the Databases (directly below the OneSearch). Under the filter for Subjects, Select STEM and click on the Filter button.
This narrow down this list to the Recommended Databases for STEM research including Gale in Context: Science, ScienceDirect, and Springer Nature Link. You can also look for these articles in our more general databases, such as EBSCOhost and JSTOR. Be sure to limit your search results to scholarly peer-reviewed articles when possible.
