EBSCO ACADEMIC SEARCH PREMIER (ASP)Management Program Tutorial 31
Why EBSCO Academic Search Premier (ASP)? Well, if you learn about the number of FULL TEXT academic journals it has for your program, 1754 and all reachable, you will agree with me that it is a useful resource.
Why Academic Journals? Because they are where the scientific and technical community promote their results, share their finding and open themselves to criticism. Because they are peer reviewed , and the information has been validated by the academic community. If you were to be published, where else would you do it?
