Line 33:
* [[Wikipedia:Free English newspaper sources]] (WP:FENS) provides a list of text-searchable, free (no-pay, non-subscription/-membership/-login) online English newspaper sources.
*See if any [[WP:TWL/Resources|free resources]] cover the topic area
*[[WP:TWL|The Wikipedia Library]] is an initiative to help Wikipedians get access to subscription or paid sources to improve Wikipedia articles. Editors can [[Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_LibraryThe Wikipedia Library/Journals|apply for access to databases]], [[WP:RX|request specific sources]], or [[WP:RD|request help with research]].
*Bibliographies on a topic outline the main scholarly sources in a subject area and provide a good starting point, where they are available.
*Once you have found one good scholarly source, you can see what sources it cites and what cited it ([https://sydney.edu.au/library/skills/elearning/print/iResearch_Print_CitationChaining.pdf citation chaining]). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1mu4VZVzk0 This video] describes citation chaining using Google Scholar.
*If you are having trouble accessing a particular source, e.g. due to [[General Data Protection Regulation|privacy laws]], try this [[Wikipedia:How to access US news websites|list of ways to get around IP-based restrictions]].
