 * ====**Recommended Nursing Research Database** (**more database search tips**)====
 * **CINAHL** For best results, apply these limit options:
 * Publication year 2006-2011
 * English language
 * Research article
 * Journal Subset: Core Nursing journals (use this INSTEAD OF limiting to full text!)
 * Any author is a nurse (limits results to articles 2009-present)
 * **Do NOT** use the Evidence-Based Practice limit option! This will eliminate many relevant articles from your result list.
 * If you have a citation for an article, use Journal Finder to locate the full text.
 * Here is a checklist of research article components


 * ====**Important reminders:**====
 * ====It may be difficult or impossible to find research articles that precisely pertain to your clinical experience. Don't be discouraged! Finding articles for research assignments involves three steps:====
 * 1) Review the literature using key words and subject terms related to your topic. You may need to try **broader terms** or **related terms** to find articles that meet your assignment requirements.
 * 2) Use limiters ("Search Options" in CINAHL) when necessary to focus your search.
 * 3) Read **many abstracts** (not just the titles!) of articles to find possibilities, then read your "final candidates" more carefully. As you read, **consider different aspects of your topic** and apply the content & issues discussed in the articles.
