Q. How do I know if a particular journal allows submissions of literature review only articles, research proposal articles, or discussion articles?

This information can usually be found on the journal website by looking at the “about” or “aim and scope” section on the journal website. The student can also email or call the journal directly to ask about journal submissions; this is also a good idea if they need information on the process of submission.

How to locate the journal website:

1. Start on our main page here.
2. To the right, under Popular Databases select Browse All Databases.
3. On the databases page, select the letter U.
4. In the list that comes up select the link to UlrichsWeb.
5. After entering into this database, you will be able to search the title of the journal that you are looking for.
6. After running your search and selecting the journal, look under the field named Title. You will find the link to the journal website.
