GRSC7880 (Walker): Community-Engaged Research Methods: Databases

Databases

Web of Science (Web of Knowledge) This link opens in a new window
Web of Science provides access to the Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Book Citation Index, and Conference Proceedings Citation Index. These databases may be searched separately, in any combination, or all at once.
These databases are unique in that the user can search to find which articles have cited a certain author or article. This technique of doing research, called pearl growing, allows researchers to find articles that are related to an earlier work. Often this technique turns up articles which are not found through traditional subject and keyword searches.

Google Scholar
This link takes you to a custom UGA Libraries page for Google Scholar. Results will contain the UGA Access link, so you can check for full text access through the library. Scholar searches full text only and does not display abstracts. Use the advanced search for complex searches.
Databases by Subject
