Finding Peer-Reviewed Research Articles (Empirical Studies) in Criminology Journals

While reviewing the References of a relevant article is a powerful way to find earlier (older) research connected to your relevant article - it is also possible to look at research connected to your article that was published more recently and that cites your relevant article.

Finding related research conducted after your relevant article was published.

Another easy way to locate additional research connected to a particularly relevant article is to paste the title of the relevant article into Google Scholar and then click on the "Cited by" option that appears beneath the Google Scholar record for your relevant article.

Suppose you found the article  "To Stay or Quit: A Review of the Literature on Correctional Staff Turnover" by E.G. Lambert was very useful for your project. Copy and paste this title into Google Scholar.

After clicking on "Cited by" you can either browse the articles that cited your relevant article ...

... or you can check the box "Search within citing articles" and type a word, words, or phrase in the "Search citing articles" search bar. This will allow you to search all 182 of the articles for those words.

If Google Scholar does not provide access to the article (in this case it does), paste the title in the library discovery system OneSearch. If neither Google Scholar nor OneSearch provide access to the article - request it through interlibrary loan.
