refereed journals have an editorial board to approve publication, a reference list and up to date contact details

they are also known as peer reviewed articles

Database search techniques

use the connecting words and/or the truncation symbol * enables a

word to be searched by its stem, eg. manag* searches for manage, manager, management, etc.
