Journal Tally
You will create a file
in Word with the following information
in it, and submit it through Drop Box, not on paper, following the
directions that are posted in the lab:
- Use appropriate
electronic resources to generate a list of at least 15 journal articles
(references) that relate to your current topic area.
- Look at your list of
references and note what journals the articles appear in. Make a
list of the journal titles and tally how many of your references
appear in each journal. You must list all the journals you
encounter regardless of whether or not they are available in/through
the library. You will be indicating whether or not each journal is available
in/through the library by placing a (y)es or (n)o after each
journal title on your journal tally.
- The journal which
our library carries with the highest number of your references becomes your
target journal. If our library does not have your target journal,
check to see which journals on your tally we do have, and choose
the one that has the most of your references in it.
- Include on this page
your updated proposal topic.
For example your journal
tally could look something like this:
Revised Proposal Topic: Fly Behavior
TARGET JOURNAL: Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology
Journal
of Abnormal Psychology (y): 2
Physiology
and Behavior (n): 3
Journal
of Applied Developmental Psychology (y): 4
Journal
of Clinical Psychiatry (y): 1
Journal
of Psychopathology (n): 3
