COD Library: BIOLO 1110: Developing a Transportation Plan: Find Articles

Finding Scholarly Articles

Scholarly articles are checked before publication, and are often more detailed than popular articles, and there are several that include EROEI data for different fuel sources. Your professor may not require you to use scholarly articles, but if they do, the sources below are good bets:

Science Direct
Check Science Direct for full-text scholarly article analysis for different types of power.
Academic Search Ultimate
ASC will also include different EROEI or net energy information for a variety of energy sources.

Requesting Articles

Finding a citation for an article you'd like, but no full-text (or you're being asked to pay for the article?) Follow the steps below to see how to best access the article:

Start by searching Journal Locator by the journal name.
If the results give you a database name, great! Click on the link and search by article title.
If there are no relevant results, head to the Article InterLibrary Loan form. (Find more info about Interlibrary Loan.)
Fill out the Article form. In about 5 business days, you should get an electronic copy of the article in your email.
