There are many ways you canfilter your results for a more refine search.
FULL-TEXT: You always want to make sure that when you're searching within EBSCOhost, you check the Full Text box; this will ensure that every article you pull up will have the full article and not just an abstract.
PEER-REVIEWED: If your instructor is asking you to find "peer-reviewed" journal articles, EBSCOhost is a great place to filter for those. Simply, check the "Peer Reviewed" box.
PUBLICATION DATE: Usually, instructors ask that your sources fallwithin the last 5-10 years. Because there are constantly new studies and findings coming out, it is important that you retrieve the most up-to-date results. Therefore, make sure you change the publication date accordingly.
SOURCE TYPES: EBSCOhost carries a variety of sources such as academic journals, magazines, newspapers, etc. If you are looking for magazines specifically, you can filter for just magazines by checking the magazines box.
