Being able to correctly identify an article that your classmate found without knowing the article's title or author(s) will be difficult, but here are some tips that may help:
- Since the instructions for the discussion say that your classmate should have "include[d] at least one quote" in their summary of the article, you can try to search for articles that contain the quotation. To do that, go to the Advanced search page of OneSearch and enter the quotation in a search box. Be sure to put quotation marks around the quoted material. (For example, if your classmate's summary includes the quotation, "[O]rganizations can reaffirm their identity by capitalizing on identity discontinuity over time, instead of following the standard approach of constructing a sense of continuity," you could search for "organizations can reaffirm their identity by capitalizing on identity discontinuity over time, instead of following the standard approach of constructing a sense of continuity".) Then change the selection in the drop-down box next to the search box to "TX All Text." When you run your search, you'll then find documents that contain the quoted material somewhere in the body of the document.
- If your classmate didn't include a quotation from their chosen article in their summary of the article, then you can try searching for the article by using information from their summary. For instance, if your classmate's summary mentions that the article that they read discusses management innovation in light of Peter Drucker's theories, particularly his work having to do with management by objectives, you could then use OneSearch to search for "management by objectives" AND innovation AND drucker. Note that the discussion instructions say that your classmate should have included the year of the article that they chose in their post, so you can use that information to help determine which of the articles returned by your search might be the one that your classmate chose.
