News articles usually credit the original research study or contain a link that will lead you to the research article or study that is mentioned in the news article. Within the link you should be able to find a citation for the article or name of the study. If the links lead to a paywall or ask you subscribe, you can bypass this by locating the name of the study, the title of the article, or by author to do a cross-search within the University Libraries online catalog, InfoHawk+. 

This is an example of what you might read in the body of a news article from NPR about exercise and circadian rhythms.

The text highlighted in blue will lead to this original research article that is mentioned in the NPR article. 

From there, you can copy and paste the title in InfoHawk+ and if the Libraries have access, it will show up in the list of results. 

You can also search by title and author within Google Scholar. To find if the UI Libraries have the article, navigate to settings in Google Scholar, then select library links and search for University of Iowa Libraries. From there you will be able to find articles that can be accessed through our Libraries. 

Another place you can look for the original study is through the E-Journal search. Locate the name of the journal publication in the article's citation then search by volume, issue, and year. 

Remember, you can always ask a librarian or your professor for help finding the original study.
