Hi @lucifargundam, I found this Wikipedia article that has a list of academic databases and search engines.
Hi @lucifargundam,
I found this Wikipedia article that has a list of academic databases and search engines.

I don't have a lot of experience looking for and finding the type of resource you're looking for. However, I do have experience using search engines. They can be difficult to use since they search the entire internet for what you're looking for. Because of that, it's difficult to narrow down on something, but that's the skill involved in looking for something like this: narrowing it down.
I ask myself, *Where do I expect to find what I'm looking for?* A scientific article, like what you wanted to find, I would expect to find on a popular, reputable, and long-standing website that specializes in distributing scientific literature or a university website.
Since I don't want to rely on the search engine for the reason specified, I tend to rely on Wikipedia. That really helps me narrow down what I'm looking for and where to find it. If I find the Wikipedia article for the topic I'm looking for, I get access to a slew of potential search terms and research that's already been done for me. I get sources for information and a general overview of my topic. Wikipedia is also better than a search engine because a search engine does not understand the context of what you're typing into it, whereas Wikipedia does since it's written by people.
You may already know about this:
It's easier to narrow down your search if you change the time filter on your search engine.

You can use Google dorks with Google Scholars to only sweep a specific site(publisher)
