Key Databases

Other Relevant Databases

What is an academic journal?

Academic journals are scholarly magazines that contain articles relating to a particular academic discipline.

Researchers and experts in the field review the journal article before it is published in what is known as the "peer review process".

This ensures that journal articles are high quality sources of academic information.

What is a database?

Databases allow you to access academic journal articles as well as conference papers, reports and other scholarly information.

They can be subject specific (i.e. a business database) or multisubject.  

Sometimes only a summary (abstract) of a journal article will be available but you will often have full access to the article.
