Classical Studies

A library guide to resources for Classical Studies

Why are journals important?

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

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

  • they are an important forum by which scholarly research is published,
  • they can explore a narrow topic in depth,
  • they contain current or recent research findings,
  • they are often peer reviewed which means that the research findings are checked by other subject experts.

Library Website - journals

Use the Library website to search across multiple databases:

Choose from the different search options:

Find books and articles - search by keywords to find books, some eBooks and journal articles across multiple electronic databases.

Advanced search - this is the recommended Library search option to use when searching for journal articles as it provides more options to build your search and refine your search results.  Search by keywords to find books, some eBooks, journal articles and other sources across multiple electronic databases. 

You may also want to search some of the databases individually.  These can provide different search options and not all of the database content is available through the Library website search.

Electronic Journals

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.
