Welcome to the library guide for your Exercise Science First Year Seminar. This guide will help you familiar yourself with types of database articles - in particular, empirical research articles. It also provides links to key library databases for Exercise Science Research.
This guide, produced by Maggie Albro, SU STEM Librarian, provides you with a more comprehensive guide to resources.
Finding Research Articles
What is an Empirical Article?
One hallmark of an empirical article is that the authors discuss data which they have collected themselves by conducting a study. These studies are published in academic journals.
Covers sports, sports medicine, and exercise science journals and magazines.
Contains almost 2.5 million articles, with almost 50% available in full text immediately.
This database, produced by the National Library of Medicine, provides indexing for the world's comprehensive life sciences and biomedical literature. It includes abstracts for 33+ million articles in 5,600+ journals currently published worldwide and provides direct links to 14+ million full-text articles.
Use this search to find articles and books in a wide variety of databases to which Ship Library subscribes. Useful for when you are not finding many results in a more-targeted database.
