- Student-Selected Journals: An Emerging Resource Weber, Roberta K. Allen, Ethan J. Periodicals Graduate Students Selection Longitudinal Studies Information Seeking Educational Research Qualitative Research Statistical Analysis Information Sources Citations (References) This longitudinal study investigates the journal selections of 367 graduate students as they worked to fulfill a commonly assigned, criteria-based literature search on educational topics. The criteria called for evidence-based studies, published within the current ten years of course enrollment, within peer-reviewed journals. Student references were evaluated, but investigation revealed that students succeeded only partially in meeting the criteria. Two hundred ninety-nine journal titles used most commonly have resulted in a list that identified peer review status and research content characteristics for each title. The findings suggest new opportunities to improve library resources, instruction, and student achievement.
