Database searching

You are required to use 3 peer-reviewed sources for your assignment. While CCC subscribes to a number of general interest and health databases, you should limit your searching to either PubMed (see tab to the left) the CCC options listed below, as they all house scholarly results. Do not use Health Source: Consumer Edition or ProQuest Consumer Health for this assignment.

Peer-reviewed limiters (CCC databases)

All the databases above offer the ability to limit exclusively to scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. In Academic Search Premier and Health Source: Nursing/Academic, simply click on the box labeled Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals. The peer-reviewed limiter is available in ProQuest databases, although the interface is quite different.
