(It contains all the information you need to complete this assignment)
What needs to be done? Go to one of the following journals:
1. Science or
2. Nature Find a peer-reviewed scientific article on any
relevant oceanographic topic. This will be the “Article 1” required by your assignment.
Using the bibliography (or literature cited/references) to identify a 2nd article.
This article will be “Article 2” Bibliography is typically found at the end of the article.
Obtain a copy of Article 2
What needs to be done?(continued)
Use the bibliography of Article 2 to identify a 3rd article: “Article 3”Obtain a copy of Article 3
Use the bibliography of Article 3 to identify a 4th article: “Article 4”Obtain a copy of Article 4
Use the Web of Science research database to determine how many articles cited Article 4 in 2009.
Some preliminary questions1. What is a peer-reviewed article?
2. How do I know if an article is peer reviewed?
What is a peer-reviewed article?
Scholarly/peer-reviewed/refereed papers are reviewed by experts (peers) in very specific fields to ensure that:The paper is based on original researchResearch is performed using proper and
rigorous scientific methodologyThe paper adds to the body of knowledge.
Peer-reviewed publications are considered to be of the highest quality for academic research.
How do I know an article is peer-reviewed?A few considerations: Peer-reviewed articles are published in
journals that use peer review. However, not all things published in
peer-reviewed journals are peer-reviewed.For example, Letters to the Editor are
(typically) not peer-reviewed; neither are book reviews.
How do I know an article is peer-reviewed?
(continued)Therefore:1. Check to see if the journal in which the
article was published uses peer-review.2. If the journal uses peer-review, see if
the article has the characteristics of a peer-reviewed article.
Does the journal use peer-review?
Check UlrichswebSearch for the journal name (e.g. Nature or Science)
Look for a referee jersey next to the journal’s name
(remember, peer-reviewed articles are also called “refereed” articles)
What if I can’t figure out the name of the journal?
For example, what is “Adv. At., Mol., Opt. Phys.?”
Search for the abbreviated title in CAS Source Index.
The results reveal that “Adv. At., Mol., Opt. Phys.” is Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics You could then search for the
full title in Ulrichsweb
What are the characteristics of a peer-reviewed article? If your article was published in a journal that uses peer-review, you now
need to establish whether the article has characteristics typical of a peer-reviewed article.
Characteristics may relate to: The article title The publication in which the article was published. Author information Submission versus publication dates Article sections
○ For example, Abstract, Introduction, Literature Search, Arguments, Methodology, Results, Conclusions, References
Charts, Graphs, and Equations The text (e.g. types of nomenclature).
Not every peer-reviewed paper will share every one of these characteristics. However, they should have many of them.
Peer-reviewed article: The Title
Title:may summarize the articles contents, and will usually contain technical terms that are specific to the subject of the research.
Peer-reviewed article: The Title
Example of an article title from a publication that does not use
peer-review
Article title from an issue of Popular Science
Peer-reviewed article: The Authors
Authors:List of authors will also include their credentials (helps establish their authority) and may also have associated contact information
Peer-reviewed article: Submission and Publication Dates
Submission & Publication Dates:Provide a history of when the paper was first received, accepted and published.
Reflects the time required for the peer-review process to take place.
Peer-reviewed article: The Publication
Publication: Provides the title of the journal in which the article was published, as well as the volume/issue numbers, page numbers, etc.
(needed to write a citation for the article)
Peer-reviewed article: The Abstract
Abstract: Briefly summarizes the contents of the article
(useful for quickly establishing whether the article pertains to your research)
Peer-reviewed article: The Introduction
Introduction:Addresses the topic or problem being addressed by the research, as well as the contexts and reasons for the research.
Introductions may include literature reviews, although these may also appear as separate sections.
Peer-reviewed article: Charts, Graphs, and Equations
Charts, Graphs and Equations:Relate to the data collected and analyses performed in the course of the research
Peer-reviewed article: The Text
Article Text:In addition to the Introduction, sections may include a Literature Review, Arguments, Experimental Methods, Results and Conclusions.
The text will often be highly technical and use terminology unfamiliar to the general public.
Peer-reviewed article: The Conclusion
Conclusion:Summarizes the results of the research
Peer-reviewed article: The References
References:Lists each of the articles cited by the author(s).
