Educational Studies: EdD Program

Below are journals commonly important to students in the Doctor of Education program. Please also explore the other tabs above for many other library search tools (like Education Source and ERIC) and other resources and links.

Notes on Full-text access:

1. Some journals only have access up to 1 year ago due to publisher embargoes; they remove access to current content in order to entice researchers to pay for individual subscriptions.
2. You can locate or browse many other available Education journals in our E-Journals Search tool here.
3. For any articles not available in our library, you can request them via Inter-library loan (there is no cost to you to do this). Use OneSearch (or an education database) to search. On the results page on left of OneSearch, use the "Expand to show non-fulltext" limit option. Sign into OneSearch w your SUNY Empire login then click the "Not available online" link under a specific article to request the item. Turn around time averages around 48 hours. This service cannot be used to request books or multimedia items.

Working with scholarly sources: here are a couple of quick tips for working with and organizing your sources:

• Zotero is an excellent source management tool and it integrates with your browser and Microsoft Word so you can access from anywhere, organize into folders, save PDFs, make highlights and take notes. Lots of help/tutorials on this tool in YouTube and on the Zotero Support page.
• If you haven't already, consider adopting a note taking system, rather than just highlighting the texts you read. Doing so is one of the best methods for learning in general and for synthesizing material from varied sources when it comes to writing papers. Most importantly, create notes in your own words whenever possible.
• Also consider putting your notes into a synthesis matrix (or my own example) to help you identify gaps, overlaps and disagreements between your sources and develop possible themes for a paper.
• Using the Library for a Literature Review - examples, how to write one, etc. (also contains links to search help, etc.)
• Get all your APA Citing Help here - guidelines, examples, sample papers, tutorials, and more.
