Q. I am looking for some scholarly articles on sex educaton, specifically pro con. Where should I go?

Scholarly Articles

Our academic databases will be best because they are the ones that have scholarly articles, Academic OneFile, JSTOR and ProQuest One Community College  (see links below).

For each database:

1. type in your topic like this "sex education".
2. Limit to full text
3. Limit to scholarly/peer reviewed articles
4. Look at the subject limits on your result list and narrow down by closest subject match

Pro & Con

Narrowing down to pro or con--that is difficult because there is no built in limit for that. Most authors generally don't state if they are pro or con, you wil have to review the articles and determine that.

Occasionally you can get lucky by adding the terms to your search such as:

• advantages
• disadvantages
• positive
• negative
• pro
• con
