NEED TO FIND CURRENT LITERATURE?
One really useful way to find current articles is "citation tracking". Scopus is one of the primary database for science literature and makes citation tracking easy. You can follow citations forward or backward.
1) To follow citations backward: If you find an article useful for your topic, you can look at their references to find older resources useful to your topic.
2) To follow citations forward: Use Scopus (our primary science database) or Google Scholar (a search engine) to find newer articles that have cited the article you started with.
