Search magazine articles and papers

　When searching for articles and papers, the procedure is slightly different from how to look for books. "I don't know where the article I want" or "I want a paper or article about XX", please search in the following order.

STEP1 Let's look for an article first.
STEP2 Let's look for magazines published in the article.
Let's also look for information on STEP3 plus alpha

　Using an online database, etc., search for which magazine the desired article is on. The point is that the tools to examine differ depending on whether the theme is academic or not. At this point, we will mainly examine the name of the article and thesis, the title and number of published magazines, the date of publication, etc. If you find an article you want to read, write down the article name (paper name), author name, publication magazine name, publisher, volume (issue date), and number of pages.
※You cannot browse the text of the article online, except for those specified below.
