Selecting Articles
When you are searching Liberty University�s online library, be sure to select �Full-Text� and �Peer-Reviewed.� To find useful articles, narrow your search by selecting portions of the theory, key words, or phrases to use as your search parameters. Using only the theorist�s name or theory will likely result in too many results to be effective.
Your articles must be from scholarly journals. It is preferred that the journals you select have the word �Journal� in the title (Journal of Marriage and Family, etc.). Ideally, each journal that you review should have a Methods section as well as Data, Results, and Conclusion sections, but these sections are not required. You must not use book reviews, obituaries, magazine articles, or online articles that have not been published in scholarly journals.

It is imperative that your Research Paper include scholarly research and not merely your opinion.
