In the Advanced Search, you will see 3 search boxes near the top and many options to Limit Your Results further down the page. Review your assignment guidelines and select what you need.
Limit your results options include:
1) Select Full Text only if you need the article right now (i.e. today or by tomorrow).
Keep in mind: If you limit to full text all the time, you could potentially eliminate useful articles, which you could otherwise request through interlibrary loan and get it typically within a few days.
2) Limit by Publication Date. Most nursing professors may want you to limit the search to the last 5 years. Type 2013 in the first year box and 2018 in the second. Tip: The month doesn't really matter.
3) Check off Peer Reviewed to limit results to peer reviewed journals only.
Learn more about it on the Peer Reviewed Journal Articles page on the left.
