ED 555: Teacher as Researcher: Searching the Education Literature

• Select the Peer Reviewed checkbox on the left side of the page to find academic, scholarly articles

• In addition to journal articles, your search may include ERIC Documents (they have codes that start with ED such as: ED626311)
  • ERIC Documents include conference papers, handbooks, reports, and other materials gathered and published by the U.S. Department of Education.
  • ERIC Documents do not go through a peer review process, so you will want to evaluate these items with a critical eye to determine their quality.

This tutorial presents advanced strategies for searching the ERIC database for education research, including identifying relevant search terms, accessing full text, and saving citations.
