Finding Magazine & Journal Articles

Do you have a science topic but are not sure which database to use to find journal articles in your area?

1) Start Basic! One of the best places to start is Academic Search Ultimate. This will find both scholarly journals and popular newsstand magazine articles on almost any area of science or technology.

2) Go to our Indexes page and look for a way to narrow the list of indexes down by broad subject area. Click on the closest subject area and then scroll down the subcategories. Best place to start is with any category that says "core."
