How do I find an article with partial citation?
Answer
If you only have a partial citation, there are a few options to finding the complete citation before you find the full text of the article.
You may need to try more than one method before you find what you need.
Input the information you have that you know to be correct into one or both of the following search engines:
- The Library Catlog
- Google Scholar
- All Ebsco Databases
- All ProQuest Databases
The reason to choose these is to search for the largest collection of citations in one search. If these don't work, choose another library database that is within your academic field.
Search tip: Be sure to put phrases in quotes to increase the possibilities of getting more relevant results.
If you think you cannot find a full citation or believe you have an inaccurate citation (it happens), you can email us at help@ciis.libanswers.comwith the information you have.
