Navigating the Scholarly Landscape: Getting Started

This page was created to help you navigate the scholarly landscape of agricultural research. Use the Getting Started tab to begin. The Scholarly Metrics tab will give you a general overview of potential metrics to consider. The FInding Impact Factors tab will help you evaluate potential scholarly journals and publications. The Assessing Author Impact tab will help you evaluate individual authors/researchers. The Databases tab will highlight prominent agricultural article databases. And lastly, the Citing Sources tab will assist you with citation issues (assuming you are using APA style).

Hope you find this guide helpful! Feel free to contact me (David Kruger) if you have any questions.
