Find any journal articles on a topic

Looking for journal articles on a topic?

Try Quick Search or Discover More, available from the Library homepage.

Use Quick Search

Quick Search will automatically bring back journal articles that match your search terms.

Up to three articles are displayed within the search results:

To view all the articles Quick Search has found, choose the 'View over -- more' link, or select Articles from either the Format facet in the left hand column or Articles via the link at the top of the page.

By default, Quick Search searches the EBSCO Complete suite of databases, including Academic Search Complete; Art and Architecture Complete; Business Source Complete; Cinahl; Computer Source Complete; and Education Source Complete.

More information on Quick Search is available.

Use Discover More

If you want to broaden your search to find more articles from different sources, use Discover More. Discover More is a powerful discovery tool that searches all of the Library's EBSCO databases plus a large number of non-EBSCO databases using the same search.

To find just the journal articles in Discover More, select either the 'Scholarly (Peer reviewed) Journals' check box, or the 'Academic Journals' check box from the search results screen:

Limiting your search to Scholarly (Peer reviewed) journals will find articles that have been reviewed and/or qualified by experts in the field of study covered by the journal.

Limiting your search to Academic Journals limits your search to all articles, whether they are peer reviewed or not.

More information on Discover More is available.

Are there any specialist databases I can search?

Yes, there are. To access the complete list of databases relevant to your subject area, select the Databases link on the Library homepage.

This link takes you to the Classic catalogue Databases page, which features a range of search options, including:

- a drop down box of popular databases

- a Subject listing of databases held.

I don't know which database to search

If you are not sure which database is relevant for your topic, you have two options:

• check out the Library Resource Guides. Each Library Resource Guide includes a selected list of the databases relevant to your search area.
  
  
• browse the Databases by Subject listing via Classic catalogue to see a complete list of all the databases held.
