Journal Articles
For recent information, journal articles are often the best sources. Looking through individual journals in the hope of finding relevant material is time-consuming. It is better to use the databases to find articles on your topic.
Journal Articles:
Access to all databases is via the Library's Database site.
- Compendex
Citations with abstracts to worldwide literature in engineering and technology. - IEEE Xplore digital
library
Provides full-text access to IEEE and IEE transactions, journals, magazines and conference proceedings published since 1988 and current IEEE Standards. - Pubmed
Includes citations for biomedical articles and provides citations and abstracts to biomedical literature including research, clinical practice, administration, policy issues, and healthcare services. - Reaxys
Includes: Beilstein -- Gmelin -- MDL patent chemistry database - ScienceDirect - covers full-text journal such as Current Opinion in Biotechnology and Trends in biotechnology.
- SciFinder
Access the CAS databases that contain literature from many scientific disciplines including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, materials science, agricultural science, and more. - Scopus
Abstract and citation database of research literature and quality web sources. - Web of
Science
Access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from high impact research journals. Web of Science also provides a unique search method, cited reference searching.
