Journal Articles
Journal articles can be an excellent source for researching narrower, more specialized topics. Articles published in scholarly and specialized journals include extensive
footnotes with citations to primary and secondary sources that are
relevant to the topic.
Journal indexes and databases are a good tool for conducting
journal article research. They include bibliographic information about
an article, such as the title, the name of the author, and the name of
the journal, as well as one or more subject descriptors.
Multidisciplinary databases
- Base: Bielefield academic search engine
BASE is one of the world's most voluminous search engines especially for academic web resources. BASE provides more than 240 million documents from more than 8,000 content providers. You can access the full texts of about 60% of the indexed documents for free - EBSCO Discovery Service
This database is an online research tool that "pulls together" many external space-related and multidisciplinary sources so that they can be explorer using a single search box - ScienceDirect
Publications and journals of Elsevier. Covers science, earth sciences, materials sciences, mathematics, physics and astronomy - SpringerLink
- Web of Science
Web Of Science is a citation index that provides a comprehensive citation search. It gives access to multiple databases that reference cross-disciplinary research, which allows for in-depth exploration of specialized sub-fields within an academic or scientific discipline. (On-campus access) - WorldCat
WorldCat connects you to the collections of more than 10,000 libraries worldwide. You can search for books, reports, article citations, and resources from the internet.
