LibGuides: CHEM 6C: General Chemistry III (Brydges, Spring 2019): FIND ARTICLES

Journal Article Databases

Both Academic Search Complete and Web of Science cover thousands of journals in all disciplines, but there are some key differences. If the article is not full text in the database you're searching, use to get the article. More information about scholarly sources vs. popular sources, and research vs. review articles.

Academic Search Complete

Covers scholarly/peer-reviewed journals AND popular sources like magazines and newspapers. Can limit results to one or the other.
Many article are full text within the database. Use UC-eLinks to find the articles elsewhere.
Cannot limit to review articles unless you add "review" to the search. This should give you some review articles, but also research articles that just happen to use the word.

Web of Science

Covers scholarly/peer-reviewed journals
No full text articles within the database. Use UC-eLinks to find the articles elsewhere.
Limit to review articles by using the Document Type filter and selecting Reviews.
Also indexes books and conference proceedings.

We also have some more subject-specific databases.

PubMed
Core index to the biomedical literature (5,300+ journals). Consider searching PubMed for any topics in medicine and related topics (including environmental health).
Environment Complete
Similar to Academic Search Complete (popular and scholarly, some full text), but with a focus on environmental topics.
SciFinder
One of the core indexes of the chemical literature, indexing journals in chemistry and related subjects. NOTE: An individual username and password is required to access SciFinder. Link to instructions for registering for a SciFinder account.
Materials Science & Engineering Database
Database that focuses on materials science topics. Some full text, and good coverage of trade publications as well as scholarly articles.
Earth, Atmospheric & Aquatic Science Database
Similar to Materials Science & Engineering Database, but covers environmental and aquatic sciences. Good for air/climate topics.

UC-eLinks to Find Full Text Articles

With UC-eLinks, you'll either be directed to the article, or get a menu like this. If there's no link to get the article online, you can check Roger to see if we have it (not likely). If we don't have the article you need, go to "Request this from the library" and complete the form. We will get you a copy of the article from another library, at no charge.
