Library Discovery: Find Journals & Journal Articles

Find Journal Articles

Journal articles are usually highly specific - that is, an article represents a very narrow focus of research, such as the "Costs Of Depression from Claims Data for Medicare Recipients in a Population-Based Sample." If you don't know a lot about your topic, or if you need a broader overview, you may want to start with a resource that summarizes or synthesizes available research (secondary information resources).

To locate original research (primary literature), try our Discovery service. You can search all of the library article citation databases at one time. Or you can search one of the databases listed below. Please contact the library if you need assistance locating the appropriate database for your research needs.

Important: When using the Ebsohost or ProQuest databases, remember to limit your searches to "peer reviewed". PubMed journals are almost exclusively peer reviewed so you don't need to worry about your results in this database.
