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.
Summon (Library homepage) provides access to the UQ Library collection of print and online books, journals, theses, newspapers, conference proceedings and more.
ArXiv is an archive and distribution server for research papers in the areas of physics and related disciplines, mathematics, nonlinear sciences, computational linguistics, and neuroscience.
A searchable database covering the world's mathematical literature since 1940. It provides online access to the bibliographic data and reviews of mathematical research literature published in Mathematical reviews and Current mathematical publications.
Scopus is a multidisciplinary abstract and citation database of research literature and quality web sources. Subject coverage includes chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, life and health sciences, psychology, economics, social sciences, and biological and agricultural sciences
Web of Science (via the Web of Knowledge)
Provides access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from high impact research journals. Web of Science also provides a unique search method, cited reference searching.
The online version of Zentralblatt fur Mathematik / Mathematics Abstracts is provided by the European Mathematical Society. Includes the digitized Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik (JFM)
