Another effective way to discover literature is to use review articles, which list and evaluate recently published papers in specific subfields. Some methods for finding review articles in the sciences include:
- Limit your search in a journal index to review articles. For example, in Web of Science you can use the "General Search" form and select "Review" in the list of document types at the bottom of the screen.
- Browse online and print issues. The more prominent review publications in biology at the Armstrong Library are listed below. (Check MIDCAT for up-to-date online and print locations of each title.)
