Peer Reviewed Articles

Peer Reviewed Articles
Paper details

You have access to a variety of human services journals in the Walden Library. For example, if you were studying post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children you might search in journals such as the Journal of Traumatic Stress or the Child & Adolescent Social Work Journal. Searching in unfamiliar journals might lead to information that can add significantly to your research. For example, you might also search in a criminology journal, such as Violence and Victims. At first glance, some journals may not appear to directly relate to your research topic, but upon further review, you may see that they have relevance.

To prepare for this Discussion, identify four peer-reviewed journal articles from four different journals that you could use for your Final Project. At least one of the articles must address the theoretical underpinning(s) of your Final Project topic. In addition, at least one of the articles must be from a journal that is unfamiliar to you.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a brief description of your area of interest and your Final Project topic. Then explain how each of the journal articles you selected might inform your Final Project topic. Be sure to include each journal article’s full APA citation.
