How do I find an article using its citation information?

Answer

You can find an article using the article's title and other citation information using the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), the main search bar on the University Libraries website. You can also use the Journal Search to find an article using journal title, volume and issue numbers, and the publication date. Besides these two options, you can also search using the DOI found in a citation.

EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS)

  1. Start by entering the article's title in the EDS search bar. In most cases, this will bring up the correct article in the first few results.

  2. However, if that does not work, select the Advanced Search option below the search bar.
