It is helpful to review references at the end of articles to locate other articles that may be useful.

When you have a reference, also known as a citation, to a specific article you are interested in finding, use Journal Finder to locate the article.

Journal Finder will tell you if the UA Little Rock Ottenheimer Library has access to the journal.

A citation contains identifying information about a resource, such as an article. This information helps you locate the item.

A citation for an article includes the following:

• Author(s)
• Publication date
• Title of article
• Name of journal, magazine, or newspaper
• For journal articles: volume number, issue number
• Page numbers

This is an example of a citation for a print journal article, written in APA format:

Roberts, C. R., & Jones, A. C. (2011). What is a citation: A short article. Health Sciences Standard, 5(7), 39-42.

The authors are C. R. Roberts and A. C. Jones

The publication date is 2011.

The title of the article is What is a citation: A short article.

The title of the journal is Health Sciences Standard.

The volume number is 5 (Hint: Volume number is always listed before the issue number.)

The issue number is 7.

The page numbers are 39-42.

When using Journal Finder to locate a specific article:

• Be sure to enter the title of the journal, not the title of the article.

• Compare and match the listed dates with the date of the article you need.

• If Embargo and a time period are listed after the dates, the journal, magazine, or newspaper is not available for that most recent time -- for instance, the last year.

• There may be more than one link to access a journal, magazine, or newspaper. If the dates match to the article you need, and there is no embargo, you can use any of the links.

• If the article you need is not available, you can use Interlibrary Loan to request the article.

If the journal and its articles are available online for the date you need, follow these steps to obtain the complete article, or full text:

• Find a listing of issues. This listing may appear on the front page. Sometimes you will need to look for an All Issues, Past Issues, or another similarly titled link.

• Once you have located a listing of issues, find the individual article by using the year, volume/issue information, and page numbers.

• After you have found the individual article, choose the PDF Full Text or PDF link if it is available.

• No PDF Full Text or PDF link? Look for a Full Text, HTML, HTML Full Text, or Linked Full Text link.

If you cannot access an article, please contact a librarian.
