ANT 495r: Forensic Anthropology
Finding Journal Articles
It takes time for information to find its way into books. If you are doing
research on a topic that is happening how, you will probably want to begin
your search with indexes to periodical literature.
Think of a recent news event: first reports of it appeared on the
Internet, TV and radio, then in the daily newspaper, and next in weekly news
magazines. Over time more lengthy articles on the event will appear in more
scholarly journals, and next books on the topic might be published.
If a topic is a very current one, you may have trouble finding it covered
in a periodical index. It takes time for articles to be printed, and an
additional length of time for periodical indexes to be compiled and
distributed. Databases like Ingenta, that quickly makes periodicals'
tables of content available electronically, are an attempt to shorten the time
delay between the appearance of an article in a periodical and the coverage of
that article in periodical indexing databases.
