How to Search and Download Relevant Academic Articles
Welcome to Day 7 of our Academic Writing Masterclass!
In this session, we dive deep into one of the most important — yet often misunderstood — skills in academic research: how to effectively search for and download high-quality, peer-reviewed academic articles.
Whether you're preparing a seminar report, writing your SIWES technical documentation, or starting a final-year project, this class will show you how to:
✅ Use Google Scholar and trusted platforms like PubMed, CORE, Semantic Scholar, and more
✅ Apply Boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT) to find relevant literature faster
✅ Avoid unreliable sources like blogs and Wikipedia
✅ Ethically access locked articles using Sci-Hub (for educational use only)
✅ Organize and cite downloaded articles using tools like Zotero and Mendeley
