The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.

The Library One Search, located on the ASU Library homepage, brings up all library materials, including physical and digital resources. One of the most common digital resources you will find are articles from research databases.  Research databases  provide access to published  magazine  and  scholarly journal  articles that you will generally NOT find freely on the internet. 

You will need your ASURITE ID and password to access ASU Library research databases.

To learn more about what a research database is and why you should use them, view this tutorial:

There are three main ways to access research databases:

• A-Z Databases List : The A-Z Databases List contains all the research databases available through ASU Library. You can find databases alphabetically, by subject, by database/source type, or by a search. This then leads you to s earchable collections of articles and article citations from newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, trade publications, and more.
• Library One Search :  Using Library One Search not only allows you to search research databases, but it will pull up all materials and resources in the ASU Library as well. It even includes an option to search the Library Catalog only.
• WorldCat :  WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services. WorldCat libraries are dedicated to providing access to their resources on the Web, where most people start their search for information.

-       IMPORTANT!       - 

When using any resources from the ASU Library or elsewhere, keep in mind that you must cite all of your sources to comply with ASU's  Academic Integrity . ASU Library has a guide with  more information on citation styles . If you are unsure of which citation style to use, please check with your professor.

How to format and submit your thesis or dissertation A thesis or dissertation is the culmination of your scholarly work in graduate school submitted as a written document. Most graduate programs at ASU require students to complete a thesis,dissertation or other culminating event. For those required to submit a thesis or dissertation, the Graduate College has specific requirements that must be met for a successful submission.  The document that you submit for format approval must be a complete, defense-ready document. This means you should choose your style guide in consultation with your chair, write an abstract that meets the Graduate College guidelines, and thoroughly check your document for consistency, grammar, punctuation, etc. You are required to follow a standard style guide or accepted journal in their field in addition to the ASU Graduate College Format Manual . This manual outlines format requirements for theses and dissertations at ASU.   Use the Format Wizard To simplify the format process, you should use the Graduate College’s Format Wizard , a helpful tool that generates a Word or LaTeX document that follows ASU’s format standards for theses and dissertations. The Format Wizard will help with formatting the preliminary pages of the document, fixing the margins and setting pagination. Using the tool will result in fewer structural revisions to your document, saving you precious time and effort.  Before submitting a thesis, dissertation, or other culminating event to the Graduate College, The defense must be scheduled through MyASU at least 10 business days prior to the desired date. Students and their committee should thoroughly review the document and check for technical and grammatical errors before uploading their document for format review. Students should submit the document through their Independent Plan of Study (iPOS) . The document should be uploaded 10 business days prior to the defense. To submit your document, you will log into your IPOS and select the “Format” tab, and then select “Attach Document” to upload your document.  Additionally, students must be enrolled in at least one credit hour during the semester they plan to defend their thesis or dissertation, while working on format revisions.  Please do not submit your document to [email protected].   Once the format team has received your document, the student will receive a notification through their iPOS on format revisions needed. If format revisions are required after the defense, students will need to make these in time to meet the semester’s final revisions format submission and final pass/fail form deadline. Once the Graduate College has received a student’s final pass/fail form, a formal advisor will direct them to ProQuest. Students should use their ASU email address to make a ProQuest account.  On average, each document will go through the format check process 3-4 times, including a review in ProQuest. Once the student has received the final approval email from ProQuest, they have officially completed the formatting process. The Graduate College hosts virtual formatting workshops each semester, including summer term, so be on the lookout for email announcements.  Students with questions about formatting their thesis or dissertation can visit the Formatting Your Thesis or Dissertation page of the Graduate College website, email [email protected]   or call 480-965-3521. Forensic Science Faculty honors advisors, about this opportunity. Forensic science is the study and application of scientific methods to matters of law. The BS degree program in forensic science at ASU is built on a solid foundation in both biology and chemistry, which develop students' basic and upper-level laboratory skills. Students complete holistic, rigorous coursework in the natural and mathematical sciences to adequately prepare for entering a competitive workforce. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is uniquely positioned to train students in forensic techniques ranging from crime scene collection, evidence analysis and mock courtroom testimony. Along with completing coursework and gaining the necessary scientific skills to succeed in this field, students have the opportunity to gain practical experience in a laboratory setting by being involved in research or an internship. Students can conduct research under experts of varying forensic fields, including biology, entomology and anthropology. Students also may seek to apply for and participate in forensic science internships sponsored by crime labs around the country. Internships are highly competitive. Job applicants and students seeking a volunteer or internship position within a crime lab are required to undergo an extensive background check that includes a polygraph exam, fingerprinting and drug testing. Actions that can disqualify an applicant include recent or past illicit drug use (including marijuana), felony convictions and drunk driving convictions. This major is eligible for the Western Undergraduate Exchange program at the following location: West Valley campus. Students from Western states who select this major and campus may be eligible for reduced nonresident tuition at a rate of 150% of Arizona resident tuition plus all applicable fees. Students should click the link for more information and eligibility requirements of the WUE program . The thesis project is the culminating experience for Barrett honors students. It provides students the the opportunity to collaborate with faculty members to produce a novel piece of scholarship. Barrett students will interact with nationally renowned researchers on a project within their expertise through their role as the student’s thesis director or committee member.  The thesis project allows students to apply all that they have learned in their content courses, as well as their courses in methodology and statistics. The scope and form of the thesis project is at the discretion of the thesis director. There are norms within the academic field that result in most thesis projects involving an original empirical research study or analysis of existing empirical data. Barrett students defend their thesis during a presentation and meeting with their committee. Academic Preparation Forensic Science Path: Barrett honors students interested in conducting a thesis as part of the forensic science path are encouraged to complete FOR 370 (Fundamentals in Forensic Analysis). One additional course, depending on area of specialization, is recommended for students pursuing a thesis in forensic biology (FOR 402), forensic chemistry (FOR 425), or digital forensics (FOR 350).  Recommended Timeline Students should begin formulating an idea about their thesis project during their sophomore year, or for transfer students early in their junior year. Typically students write the thesis over two semesters during their senior year. Students also should explore potential faculty members who might serve as a director of their honors thesis project and as committee members.  The New College also has several opportunities for undergraduate research to include the New College Undergraduate Inquiry and Research Experiences (NCUIRE) program, Individualized Instruction (499) opportunities, and Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences offered each semester. These opportunities will count for honors credit.  Other Honors Opportunities Barrett students can also take advantage of other research and internship opportunities. For information regarding internship opportunities check the New College Internship page. Additionally, students are encouraged to explore Study Abroad options available to them. ASU's Global Education Office has a robust set of offerings that student's can explore. You can search those offerings here .
