Does your assignment require peer-reviewed American nursing journals published within the last five years? We had you in mind when we made RiverSearch. Read below about how to log in to IRSC Libraries and get to the American Nursing Journals search.

Start at the IRSC homepage.

Click MyPioneerPortal - Student in the top right.

Log in, then look for an IRSC Libraries link or tile.

This will take you to the RiverSearch landing page.

Click on American Nursing Journals in the menu across the top.

Alternatively, you can log in to MyPioneerPortal and then go straight there by clicking this link.

This search is pre-set to search within ONLY peer-reviewed American nursing journals published within the last five years that IRSC Libraries have access to. All you have to do is enter your succinct keywords in the second search field that reads Enter a search term.

For your literature review assignment, you need articles that are not only relevant to your topic but also:

• were peer-reviewed
• were published in the last 5 years
• were published in a nursing-specific journal (not a journal for a different medical or allied health field like ethics, medicine, case management, etc.)
• were published in the United States (many journals with articles in English are based in other countries or are international covering multiple countries

View the detailed information for a journal within a database to find out if it meets the criteria listed above. The example below is peer-reviewed, from a nursing-specific journal, and published in the U.S.

You can also check the journal publisher's website to learn more about the journal an article is from.
