Unit 3: (Where does this research you speak of live?) Journal Articles.
12 But what if I can’t find it in a database?
Listen, I can’t actually help myself, so here is a potential teachable moment. If you’re looking for a specific article but the library doesn’t have it, pop the title into Google (with quotation marks around the term, such as “Dunkin’ Donuts”) and scout around. Many scholars use sites such as ResearchGate and academia.edu to share their work.

But what if I can’t find it in a database?
Article 2 – Remix:
Kate Magsamen-Conrad, Maria K. Venetis, Maria G. Checton & Kathryn Greene (2019) The Role of Response Perceptions in Couples’ Ongoing Cancer-Related Disclosure, Health Communication, 34:9, 999-1009, DOI: 10.1080/10410236.2018.1452091
LINK ONE -> https://www.researchgate.net/(etc.)
This link leads to ResearchGate, a “third party” website where I uploaded it.
LINK TWO -> https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10410236.2018.1452091?journalCode=hhth20
This is the link via the publisher’s website.

Now this one is extra special, as this particular work was funded by a grant. As such, it gets special publishing workarounds, and depending on the agreement with a particular journal[1], gets published open access though NIH.
And with that: back to your regularly scheduled chapter!
- The agreement is usually related to time. How long after publication in the journal do they have to wait. For some journals it's immediate, others it's 6 months, a year, etc. ↵
