Hi everyone: I have a difficult time helping my students understand that book chapters and websites are generally inappropriate references for literature reviews or research papers. I don't mind students who obtain online copies of scholarly psychology articles, but I have a lot of students who will just want to do a Google search to find potential references for papers. I have adopted a policy of allowing students to only use websites that contain online copies of scholarly articles and this has been met with resistance even after explanations have been offered (procrastination is a major factor as a lot of students wait until too late in the semester to obtain articles through ILL and thus rely on websites). What are your policies for the types of references that students can use in literature reviews? Do you allow websites or other online references?
