How to Find Journals and Articles
Scientific research is communicated mainly through journal articles. These articles should be peer-reviewed and recently published, unless you are doing a historical retrospective.
Once you've found a few articles of interest, a great way to find even more relevant sources is by looking for related citations. Databases like Scopus, and others, provide tools on the results page to help you do this.
