I'm looking for scholarly articles on: Low-income and divorced families beliefs about their role in children's academic learning and the influence of neighborhood quality on adolescent's educational values and school effort.

Look for scholarly articles here:

http://scholar.google.com

Also ... do you have access to a college or public library? Even if you go to the library only once to get a library card/number, you should be able to get the usernames and passwords so you can access the huge databases most libraries subscribe to these days. You'll often find better information through them than through general searches on the Internet.

Here is an example -- one college's library website (but public libraries usually have many of these, too): (Broken Link Removed)
Click on Electronic Resources/Databases to see the different databases this particular college provides for its students. EBSCOhost, ProQuest, and Facts.com are among the largest and best.

What does your library provide? That's a good place to research.

To find scholarly articles on the topics you mentioned, you can start by using Google Scholar at http://scholar.google.com. Google Scholar is a specialized search engine that indexes scholarly literature, including articles, theses, books, and conference papers.

1. Go to http://scholar.google.com.
2. In the search bar, enter keywords related to your topic, such as "low-income divorced families role in children's academic learning" or "neighborhood quality influence on adolescents' educational values and school effort."
3. Click on the search icon or press Enter.

Google Scholar will then display a list of relevant scholarly articles. You can click on the article titles to access the full text or abstract of the articles. Keep in mind that some articles may be behind paywalls or require subscriptions. If you come across these, you might want to consider other options like accessing the databases provided by your college or public library.

If you have access to a college or public library, you can take advantage of their extensive databases to find scholarly articles. Here's how:

1. Visit your library's website.
2. Look for a section called "Research" or "Databases" or "Electronic Resources."
3. Explore the available databases. Some common ones include EBSCOhost, ProQuest, JSTOR, and PubMed. You can click on these platforms and search using similar keywords as mentioned earlier.
4. Access the database using your library card or login credentials if required.

Using library databases often provides access to a wider range of peer-reviewed articles, journals, and publications. They are typically more reliable and comprehensive than general internet searches. If you are unsure about navigating the library's website or finding the right databases, you can reach out to a librarian for assistance. They are knowledgeable and can guide you in finding the best resources for your research.
