To find articles published in a discipline-specific journal, please...

Use Discipline-Specific Databases

  • Note that some of our library databases are multidisciplinary, meaning they include articles from multiple disciplines.
    • These include NavigatorSearch, Academic Search Complete, ProQuest Central, Sage Journals, and more.
  • On the other hand, some of our databases are subject-specific, meaning they only include articles from a specific discpline(s).
    • These include SocINDEX, APA PsycInfo, ProQuest Health and Medical Collection, and more. 
  • Use our library A-Z Database list or research guides to find recommended discipline-specific databases.

Unsure if a database is discipline-specific or multidisciplinary? Ask a librarian!

Finding Full-Text

Finding full-text is easy if you know what you're looking for (refer to image below):

  1. In most databases you can simply limit to ONLY articles that have full-text available.
  2. In NavigatorSearch and other EBSCO databases, you can select the "Click to look for full text" option under an article to see if it is available in another library database.
  3. Articles with PDF full text availability will show up with the "PDF Full Text" icon under the article record.
