Q. How do I find an argumentative article?

Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints is a great starting point for inspiration and background knowledge on current and controversial topics. You can use the search box, or browse by subject, and then explore the news articles, academic journal articles, statistics and other resources provided.

Searching current newspapers for 'Opinion,' 'Editorial,' or 'Op Ed' columns will also turn up argumentative writing. Visit our Current Newspapers Research Guide for more info on accessing current newspapers.

You can also run a general Scout search for a topic that interests you, and then use the limiters in the left-hand column to refine your search results. Try using the date range slider to look for only the most recent articles, or use the Scholarly (Peer-Reviewed) Journals tick box to limit the results to academic sources.
