The databases listed below are good sources of academic journal articles in Political Science & related topics.
Using them (rather than Web sources) will greatly improve your chances of producing high quality work.
Also useful are review articles, which summarise research on a topic. Look out for these, or try adding keywords like "review" in your searches. Many journals produce them, and some specialise in this area, notably the Annual Reviews series of publications. We subscribe to the social sciences collection, which includes the Annual Review of Political Science.
