Welcome to the ISU Library research guide for Statistics. Each tab contains links to resources for students, faculty, and other researchers interested in a variety of topics in statistical analysis.
If you have any questions regarding your search for information, feel free to contact me with the information noted at the right of this page.
--Kris Stacy-Bates, subject specialist librarian for Statistics.
These are major databases useful for searching topics in statistics.
-
ScopusA large database of peer-reviewed literature in all subject areas. In addition to citation searching, it features tools to track, analyze and visualize research. Scopus complements Web of Science and Google Scholar, but each of them contains enough unique information that none of them should be used exclusively.
-
Web of ScienceCovers major journals in a range of subjects, including statistics, and has links to make it easy to see which authors have cited others.
-
MathSciNetThe American Mathematical Society's easily searchable database of reviews, abstracts and bibliographic information for much of the mathematical sciences literature. Coverage from 1940-present, over 2 million records.
-
Academic Search UltimateA good general-purpose database with journals and popular magazines. Many of the articles are full-text. Useful to anyone seeking information on topics in the areas of current events.
-
ProQuest Dissertations & Theses GlobalIndex to PhD dissertations from across the US and a few from other countries, with coverage back to 1861. For dissertations published since 1997, full text may be available. For most Iowa State University Ph.D. dissertations published since 1916, citations and abstracts, a 24-page preview, and the option to download the full text are available. ISU masters' theses are also included in full text, beginning with Fall 2006.
