Enter your search terms here. Academic OneFile also works the same way. You could do an advanced search, if you like.
If you go to a website that features a lot of advertisements for products that you can click on to go to another site to buy a product then it is a good idea to stay away from it. It is most likely a commercial site that is considered neither credible nor academic. Use the library databases to find your sources. Here are the general databases that I recommend:
ProQuest
Academic OneFile
CQ Researcher Online
Statista–if you are looking for statistics
Greenfield–only if you are looking for articles related to the environment.
Sybarites–only if you are looking for articles on human psychology
These are some general websites, so you can choose whichever will work best for you depending on your topic.
