Kwantlen users have access to 245+ Research Databases.
Start your business research with these databases:
Academic research is a multi-step process that doesn't always go in a straight line; you may find yourself returning to previous stages as you refine your topic.
Steps include:
Q: What is a scholarly journal?
A: Scholarly journals (also called 'academic' or 'peer-reviewed') contain articles written by experts, for other experts.
See our Scholarly Publications checklist.
Q: What is full-text?
A: Full-text is the complete article. Some databases may only give you a citation to an article, meaning just the author's name, article title, etc. Others include the full article. A full-text article may be in HTML format (words only) or a PDF scanned copy of the original article.
Q: How can I tell if we have this article?
A: If you only see a citation, click on the 'Where Can I Get This?' link next to the article in your database search results. If Kwantlen does not have access to the full text, you can request a copy of the article through Interlibrary Loans (ILL).
