Finding Journal Articles
Many of the following databases provide the full-text of articles. I would suggest starting with Academic Search Complete, and then supplement your search with the other databases listed based on your area of focus.
- Academic Search Complete A good database to start with because many of the articles are available electronically full-text, and the database searches over 10,000 publications.
- Communication & Mass Media Complete Good database covering most areas of communication disorders.
- Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts Another good all around database that not only covers journal articles but also conferences, websites and books.
- PubMedExcellent government database covering all medical aspects.
- MEDLINE (EBSCOhost) Same database as PubMed-- but this version may be easier to use.
- CINAHL Plus with Full Text Another good database if your topic is medically related.
- PsycARTICLES Good for topics that have a psychological focus-- such as "how stuttering effects self esteem", etc, etc.
- PsycINFOAnother database to try if your topic has a psychological slant.
- Web of Science Offers citation approach to searching.
- SCOPUS UH Libraries Has recently purchased this database for a 3 year trial as of September, 2011
