robpownell 1 / 1 Dec 1, 2011 #1This is a research paper I'm having trouble finding any academic journals or sources for that are not pure Internet resources. I'm also having trouble forming a thesis for the paper. The subject is should drug testing mandatory in the workplace, or the alternative subject I want to do is should single sex classrooms be an option fo public education. It's hard to find any academic sources for these topics. If i could find any research, I could probably form a thesis. But one is hard to form without the other. Any help finding academic resources would be great! Also, the articles or resources have to be able pull a criticsl analysis of them. Thank you.

The idea is to get articles from a database of professional journal articles.About the thesis: You CANNOT think of a thesis until you extract the main idea from each article. Come up with a thesis statement last... after having your outlook enriched by the inspired message of each article's author.Start by looking on a database like Jstr or Questia, and then REALLY enjoy the meaningfulness of one article. Start with one article, and the alchemy begins. :-)
