When writing a paper in college, you usually need to have citations and a reference page. Your course instructions include which writing style to be followed - APA, MLA, Chicago, etc. Some schools offer digital libraries. All sources are supposed to be cited in papers. If one is writing correctly, then they're not plagiarizing.

google
that is all you need
This rarely works when you need access to journals.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Scholar
Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines.
...Google Scholar index includes peer-reviewed online academic journals and books, conference papers, theses and dissertations, preprints, abstracts, technical reports, and other scholarly literature, including court opinions and patents.

it works just fine to provide you the links -- but you may have to pay or subscribe to a journal to get the full article
I'm on my 3rd online degree and I can tell you that Google Scholar is NOT going to work for most college papers. Have you looked to see how much journal articles cost? Or a subscription to journals? This advice would get VERY EXPENSIVE very quickly. Google Scholar is not comparable to EBSCO. Anyone taking an online course should find out about their school's digital library or use a local library which will have access to many of the same databases.

Not sure if mentioned but I found my digital library cards have some access to things. For instance, here, Boston Public Library card account digital lets me access a range of subscribed journals. Not sure the various residency rules for public libraries. Not advising anything unlawful but a friend or relative out of state may allow you to use their library card account at different libraries online for access to the proxy to access subscribed areas. Or may require access with vpn. Like if your mother will allow you to use her library account but she's in Boston, maybe use a boston vpn with the proxy. Idk... just a thought.

Bartleby is a great resource, especially since you are ready to purchase a subscription. I had used for a few months while I was pursuing my studies and it was really helpful. They have great free and paid resources - worth giving it a shot.

I like using CitationMachine's journal search:
https://www.citationmachine.net/apa/cite-a-journal
You search from Citation Machine and it searches reputable journals and generates the citation for you in one go.

Is this list still accurate? I'm trying to access an article on sagepub.com. When I click the Get Access link and search for Thomas Edison or TESU it is not in the list.
