Popular article databases from the Library, such as Multisearch and ABI/Inform, include all kinds of sources, from newspapers to academic journals. And Google Scholar includes "scholarly" material beyond articles, such as unpublished papers, research reports, and other information deemed scholarly by algorithm without review (i.e., student papers in academic institutional repositories). For in-depth, doctoral level research we recommend beginning with the top scholarly articles.
To do that, we recommend the following subscription database.
You can also use the big search box on the Library's homepage to find resources. That resource will find books, newspapers, journals, and more. You can use he limits of the left side to limit to "scholarly."
Another option is to limit your searching to known scholarly publishers. In the Library's A-Z Database list, you can limit in the drop down menu "All Database Types" to "Full text scholarly journals." The resources listed there collections of journals from key scholarly publishers.
Of particular interest to business and management are the following:
But if you're interests are covered by other publishers, search those directly as well.
