Where to look for literature for term papers?
The first step is systematic catalogs of libraries. In their respective sections you can find the classics - those works on your topic that you cannot but know.
The second step is review journals and brochures of the RSL “Reference Bibliographic Information”. In these journals you can find information about the literature published in recent years.
The third step is reading the works published in recent years and found by you in abstract journals. From their bibliographic lists you can also get information about the literature worthy of attention.

The fourth step is searching the world wide web. As a search query, it makes sense to use the names of the authors of those works published in recent years that you found in abstract journals. It may be possible to find information about scientific schools and research teams that these authors present, about scientific conferences in which these authors participated, and then about other reports that were heard at these conferences, about the authors of these reports, and then find other works these authors and so on.
Searching for keywords of the topic under study makes sense to conduct specialized search engines for researchers. Examples:
- Scholar.ru
- Scirus.com (here I am looking for the latest English-language work on my topics)
- Scholar.google.com
- Academic.live.com (Microsoft search engine; I personally never manage to find anything there)
- Scinet.cc
- Highwire.Stanford.edu
- Infotrieve.com
- ScienceResearch.com
- SpringerLink.com
Libraries of many universities provide access to full-text electronic databases of scientific works. Contact the library of your university asking if they have an agreement with the owners of such databases.
In addition, it makes sense to conduct a search in electronic versions of published books:
- Booksearch.google.com - this search engine returns published books containing the requested terms as search results. In the overwhelming majority of cases, you cannot read the entire book found by Google. They are protected by copyright. But you can familiarize yourself with this or that book, with its content, and read public passages. Thus, it is possible to get an idea about the aspects of the problem being studied, to which the authors focus on, to draw a conclusion on the most relevant and least developed issues. Through this search engine, you can also go to the pages of electronic stores, where you can buy the found literature.
- Nigma.ru - this search engine, developed by undergraduate and graduate students of Moscow State University, contains the search option in electronic libraries.
Scientific publishing sites may also be useful:
- World Scientific Publishing
- Blackwell Publishers
and other resources (if you have something to add, I will be very happy).
After you compile the list of references, discuss it with the supervisor. Perhaps you missed something important.
