Strategies for making regular contact with the scholarly literature

James E Carr et al. Behav Anal Pract. 2010 Fall.

Abstract

Behavior analysts are obligated by the conventions of the academic discipline and guidelines of professional conduct to stay in close contact with the scholarly literature. However, a number of variables can interfere with this obligation. We discuss several barriers to searching the literature, accessing journal content, and making contact with the contemporary literature and provide solutions for eliminating them.

Keywords: evidence-based practice; information literacy.
