Peer reviewed papers
 

I have to write a research paper for my Senior Seminar course. I would like to write it on Creative Commons (not sure what direction I'll take, yet). One of the requirements of the paper is that I need at least 3 sources from peer-reviewed papers. I've searched IEEE Computer Society and ACM Digital Library without any success.

Can someone suggest other resources or ways I might be able to find some peer reviewed papers related to Creative Commons? What are some law-related organizations/societies that would have published papers for me to search through?

Am I not going to be able to find any? Should I try to choose another topic?

Thanks

k1ng,

I'm guessing you're at the one of the fine schools down there in ATL...next time you're on campus, google "web of science" or "web of knowledge." It should take you to a webpage that basically indexes peer-reviewed papers. Type in the actual underlying legal aspects of the Creative Commons project and you should be set. Copyright infringement, etc. I know that lawyer usually use lexus-nexus (sp?) - but I think that might be mostly an index of case law...not my field. Your school most likely has other databases for articles available - check the library. Remember that the reference librarians can be your friends - many journals have there recent articles available online, and they are freqently free if you're on from a campus URL.

Usually the people who work at the school library can help you with this type of thing.

Many journals have papers that are peer reviewed. This is part of the acceptance policy for the aritcles. I'm can't speak for your topic, but I do know that if you look at the specifications for publication it will state whether the articles were peer reviewed or not.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I was able to get some help from my school library.
