Question

While reading articles published in refereed journals about her research topic, georgia repeatedly comes across references to a series of studies by one particular researcher. she's unable to find those references in the collections of her university library. her best plan of action would be to: include the references in her reference list but not cite them in the text. search the internet for copies that may have been posted. put in a request through the library loan program. summarize the research, noting the references were "cited by" the articles she did read?

Answer 1

Put in a request through the library loan program.

Georgia’s best option would be to put in a request though her library’s loan program. When citing and using a journal article as a reference in your essay or report, it is best to look at the original and authentic article to obtain an accurate version of it. Even if internet copies of the same article are posted, there is no way to know credibility and accuracy of them.
