To find the most up to date research you will need to search for research papers, often published within academic journals. Sometimes your lecturer may suggest a particular journal. Often journals may have a particular focus e.g. Party Politics so articles will have a focus on the analysis of political parties within national and international political systems. This can be very useful when you are looking at a particular topic. 

 

How to find journals and articles

  • Follow links in your module reading lists
  • Look up the title of a journal in Primo e.g. Environmental Politics and follow the link to browse within
