1. How do I find a peer-reviewed article about my fossil?
- Enter your fossil name in the Mardigian Search box and click Go
- If your fossil name is two words or more, put it quotation marks so that Summon searches for it as a phrase, not as separate words
- Use the options under the Refine Your Search sidebar in the list of search hits to focus them to peer-reviewed articles
- Example: Gigantopithecus fossils
- Search for gigantopithecus or "gigantopithecus blacki"
- Under Refine Your Search:
- click Peer Review
- click Journal Article under Content Type
- click anthropology and history & archaeology under Discipline
- Click the Full Text Online link to get a full text copy of the article
2. I've found a peer-reviewed article. How do I find the specific articles listed in its References section?
- Some articles in the References list may have links included that you can use to access them
- Look for PDF links or links to other databases
- Summon Search
- Enter the name of the article in the Summon search box
- Remove punctuation marks from the search, like the colons between the article title and subtitle
