Find Quality Scientific Articles
One way to find quality scientific articles is by typing keywords of the research topic to a search engine or database which is considered to contain scientific materials. The results will yield different articles and hence it is important at this stage to identify scientific articles since they are the ones which have introduced to the topic of research, objectives of the study, research questions, literature review, method of data collection, results, discussion or analysis, and conclusion (Aghaei Chadegani et al. 1). Scientific articles also show the type of data that the researcher used to analyze the findings. The data can either be quantitative or qualitative. Another way to find scientific articles is through mentors. Mentors guide a person on the best scientific articles they have ever come across in the course of their career. They help to locate specific material for a given title.
Database for Quality Scientific Articles
Quality articles are found from recognized academic websites such as Google Scholar and Scopus (Delgado‐López‐Cózar 1). Google has materials and articles in all academic fields. It cites documents from other sites and consolidates them together. Another database is the Microsoft academic Research. The website has materials from the science field ranging from engineering to those in biology. ScienceDirect is also a science article based website offering a wide range of scientific journals.

Another trusted website is Web of Science. Web of science has scientific articles from all fields of science (Aghaei Chadegani et al. 1). Other sites for scientific articles include Pubmed, Bioline International and PLOS ONE (Kate par. 3). Online libraries for schools also contain previous researches form the institution and outside the institution — universities, research institutions, and colleges file researches passed by academic panels making them be of high quality.
Examples of Poor Sources of Scientific Articles
Wikipedia is an example of a poor source of scientific articles. The website allows editing by anybody making the information and articles unreliable. News websites such as magazines and televisions are also poor sources of materials. Sometimes they may publish articles though scientific but meant for entertainment.
