Internet Access

Doctoral scholarly writing learners are expected to conduct extensive Internet
searches on Google Scholar and through other search engines and must have
at-home Internet access.
Occasionally there is a charge per paper from some of the scholarly paper
providers. We recommend never paying for a paper. If you
are already enrolled in a university, most universities offer free access to
search programs such as XanEdu, Academic Search Premier, LexisNexis Academic,
ProQuest Psychology Journal Locator, Business Source Premier, etc.
To maximize your search power and minimize the time it takes to find
appropriate articles, FIRST use Google Scholar to locate
articles. For any article that has a charge attached to it found in
Google Scholar, then go to your university's search engine and look up
the specific article.
Searching a university search engine first is often far less productive than
Google Scholar.
