We'd love to help, but there are a lot of journals out there. Can you narrow it down a bit? Have you looked in Medscape or online anywhere yet?

First, it might help to define exactly what the assignment asks.

Then, you might find and read each article. Keep in mind the criteria for your research as you read. Also, it might help to follow through and read a couple of the references cited at the end of each article. Where are they cited from? Respectable journals or not?

This resource looks good too, even thought it might be a little too much for your assignment. It asks some good questions:

For me, it would depend on the article. I know I have a subject once I can get a pretty strong feeling about what I'm reading.
