Find an Academic Paper

You need to search for an academic paper using the library databases to a paper that was not published before 2014 on a topic that complements any of the topics in the research activity OR the overall theme of those topics. Bring the paper to the workshop where the group will decide the best paper. The best paper is to be submitted by the leader along with an explanation of why this paper was better than the other three. The other three papers will have to be listed as a part of that discussion. This task is to be no more than half a page in length.
