Journals are regular scholarly publications which contain articles on specific subjects.

They are important in academic research for a number of reasons:

• they are the main forum by which research is published,

• they can explore a narrow topic in depth,

• they contain current or recent research findings,

• they are often peer-reviewed so that research findings are checked by other subject experts.

Use the Library website to search across multiple databases:

Use the Electronic Journals to check whether the full text of a journal is available electronically - this is useful if you are looking for a specific article.  N.B. Search for the journal title rather than the article title.
