Finding journal articles

Not sure what we mean by 'journal'? This links to our FAQ blog, return using the back button on your browser.

To help you find journal articles, we subscribe to databases which can:

• search many journals at the same time
• find articles by subject
• give you references to the articles, or often the full text. (If they don't give you the full text, there are other ways of finding it.)
• help you find articles from 'scholarly' or 'peer-reviewed' journals. Your lecturers may have told you to look for those.

We have listed the main questions about journals below, just select a topic from the drop-down menu. It may take you out to other pages, so return here by using the back button on your browser.
