Useful Websites for Research

When doing research, try not to rely solely on Google or Wikipedia. There are many other search engines available, which may give better and clearer results.

Think carefully about which keywords to use. Remember that search engines don't take account of the different meanings of words, so you may get results that aren't relevant to your topic.                                   

 Search Engines:

     Refseek - locates results from webpages, books, journals and                                                  encyclopedias

     GoogleScholar - for journal articles    

       ScienceResearch

 WolframAlpha - for mathematical and scientific answers        

     ChemSpider - part of the Royal Society of Chemistry
