Option 1: Search This Journal

The most straightforward way to identify articles in Family Business Review (FBR) on a topic is to go to the FBR site in Sage Journals and click on the Search icon. As you input your search terms in the search box, you will be offered two options ( In this journal or In All Sage Journals). Be sure to choose In this journal. It will search within the full text of all issues of FBR back to volume 1, issue 1 (1988).  The results are relevance ranked by default.

Option 2: Advanced Search

The Advanced Search feature in Sage Journals lets you combine several topics together, limit by journal name, and even limit by date range. See the example below for an illustration.

Some Tips and Warnings:

1. Do not use the "Search all journals" box at the very top of the screen as it will search across all the Sage Journals (not just FBR).
2. FBR journal issues may include book reviews, editorials, and other non-research content. Make sure you carefully examine your articles to ensure they are appropriate.
3. You do not need to find academic papers that mention your famous family business - concentrate on locating articles on a relevant topic.
