OTHER OPTIONS

GREAT DATABASE - JSTOR
This database gives you access to tons of scholarly articles but you need to sign up with an account (use your google account). You can view 100 free articles per month. View the video below to see how to sign up.
elow you will find a list of several scholarly resource search engines. I HIGHLY suggest you use these and focus the bulk of your research on TIER 1 resources!!!!! You need 10-12 resources minimum.
WORD OF CAUTION: Some of these search engines that rely upon AI will also have an option to synthesize the articles for you. This can be handy in trying to figure out the scope for the paper but you get similar information from the research abstract. DO NOT INCLUDE IN YOUR IRR ANY AI GENERATED SYNTHESIS!!!!!! YOU WILL GET CAUGHT BY THE PLAGIARISM FILTERS ONCE YOU SUBMIT YOUR PAPER TO COLLEGE BOARD!!!!!
Many of the features on Google Scholar are paid features. To get around the this, for articles you want to view, type in "filetype:pdf." at the end. You should be able to find it without paying.
