How do I find references for my thesis?
Hi all. Please advise me for finding the relevant information and correct references for my thesis? I have done research and consulted a wide literature back then. I noted some of the references, but now when I began writing my thesis, I felt as if those references are way too limited. I should add some more for explaining things better but now how can I? (just for FYI my research is all about American Feminism in 20th century)

Uh! Can you please be a little specific? I mean do you want to get references for extending the references list or your thesis really lack detailed authentic information? For either of reasons, you require in depth knowledge and critical thinking. If you had a few references, you could trace a lot more by critically reading it all over again which we call a bibliographic chain. Extensive research upon some collated with other works will help you find key findings or theories supportive of your thesis.

Access and use online databases that provide bibliographic records of literature for a selected field and frequently provide full text. Like ABI has abstract, index, and full text for journals, periodicals annual reports, etc. for business research.

What are your supervisor’s comments? Has he reviewed your references and any draft that you might have prepared? Instead of looking for something more, first write a rough draft of your literature review and get it reviewed by your supervisor, and if it lacked something significant, then he could advise you on how to proceed.
