This book explains how to present the information in your paper using certain rules and guidelines for elements such as:

 punctuation and abbreviations  selection of headings

 citation of references  presentation of statistics

The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association may be purchased in a bookstore, or may be found in the Library. The call number for circulating copies of this book is

What are “Peer-Reviewed” Journals?

A SERIAL is any publication that is issued in successive parts, usually (though not always) at regular intervals, and is intended to be continued indefinitely. Serials include: periodicals, newspapers, magazines, annuals, yearbooks, journals, memoirs, proceedings, transactions, and numbered monographic series.

A PERIODICAL is a serial published indefinitely at regular or stated intervals, generally more frequently thanonce a year. Each issue is numbered and/or dated consecutively and contains articles, stories, or other writings. Journals, magazines and newspapers are periodicals.

There is a difference between magazines and journals:

A MAGAZINE is a periodical, generally with a more "popular" style and presentation than a research journal. Usually, magazine articles are authored by staff writers for an audience of the general public or interested amateurs in a given field (rather than by researchers for their peers), and edited by a magazine employee rather than an independent board of scholars. Style tends to be engaging and eye-catching, and magazines often include substantial advertising. Pagination usually starts over at "1" with each issue.

A JOURNAL is a periodical publication in which researchers report the results of their work to their peer community. Articles are reviewed by an editorial board of scholars in the field prior to acceptance for publication,and generally include an abstract and numerous citations to previous work. The writing style in journals is formal rather than engaging, and journals generally have little or no advertising or glossy, catchy graphics and illustrations. Journals often have pages numbered continuously through the several issues of a given volume (for example, v.15 #1 has pages 1-223; v.15 #2 runs from p.224-587, and so forth to the last issue of the volume).

PEER REVIEW is a process that articles in many journals go through before they are published. Once an articleis submitted for publication, it is sent to an editorial board comprised of experts in the field to be evaluated. The submitted article must receive the approval of the editorial board before it is published. The editorial board is usually identified at the beginning of each issue of a journal.

Learning to use

ERIC

(Educational Resources Information Center)

ERIC indexes education journals, the majority of which are peer-reviewed. Records typically include bibliographic data (author, title, date, journal citation, publisher) and an abstract, or short description of the work. A small number of the records also display the full text of an article. The majority of journal articles need to be obtained through library print and electronic holdings or directly from the publisher. To aid in the finding process, ERIC includes “Find in a Library” links at the end of the record.

In addition to the journal literature, ERIC indexes education-related materials from scholarly organizations, professional associations, research centers, policy organizations, university presses, the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies, and state and local agencies. Records for these materials typically include bibliographic data (author, title, date, source), an abstract, or short description of the work, and a link to the full text in PDF format.

GETTING STARTED

Go to http://www.eric.ed.gov. From the tabs near the top of the screen:  Choose “Search Eric” for a Basic Search or Advanced Search .

 Use the “Thesaurus” to identify appropriate words and phrases from ERIC’s controlled vocabulary for precision searching.

How to Evaluate Websites

“In the general World Wide Web there are no editors (unlike most publications) to proofread and ‘send it back’ or ‘reject it’ until it meets the standards of a publishing house’s reputation. Most pages found in general search engines for the web are self-published or published by businesses small and large with motives to get you to buy something or believe a point of view. Even within a university and library web sites, there can be many pages that the institution does not try to oversee.

And if you want to use it for serious research, you need to cultivate the habit of healthy skepticism, of questioning everything you find with critical thinking.”
