Find Journal Articles using Databases (Scholarly)

Different databases index different sets of journals. Use the one (or a couple) that best suits the kind of information you're looking for. DO NOT limit to "full text only" (use the Find It! button) but DO limit to peer-reviewed journal articles if you are looking for those specific sources.

Education Research Complete This link opens in a new window
Provides resources on all levels of education, including higher education and includes more professional and trade publications than indexed elsewhere.
Education Research Complete provides indexing and abstracts for over 1,500 journals, and full-text for more than 750 of them. Topics covered include all levels of education from early childhood to higher education, and all educational specialties, such as multilingual education, health education, and testing. Education Research Complete also covers areas of curriculum instruction as well as administration, policy, funding, and related social issues. It also has the full-text for over 100 monographs and numerous education-related conference papers.
ERIC (EBSCOhost) This link opens in a new window
Essential and authoritative database for education research. An index from the US Department of Education that has been around since 1964 ,with some full-text access.
Includes journal articles, books, research syntheses, conference papers, technical reports, policy papers. There is a free version that anyone can use at eric.ed.gov. Use the library version because you will be able to access the full-text of the articles you find more easily. Currently indexes more than 600 journals.

In addition, contributors have given ERIC permission to display more than 115,000 full-text materials in PDF format. These materials are generally part of the recent grey literature such as conference papers and reports, rather than journal articles and books. Older ERIC documents that are not free on the web are available on microfiche, but must be recalled from storage.

Search Tip: Use the Find It! Button

When you search a database for a "Full Text" item, you are only searching through that particular database for the document in full-text, and not our entire collection. An item may exist as a "Full Text" selection within a different database.

If you don't find an item as full-text in the database you're searching, use the "Find It" button to cross-search other databses for that same item. You may discover that we have electronic access to that material after all.

Tools to help you cite properly

APA Style Guide to Electronic Resources
This guide details how to cite electronic resources such as journal articles found in a database, blogs, videos, and more.

Your BEST resource for citing any of your sources in proper APA style is to use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th Edition which you can find at King Library. Most databases offer a citation, but be sure to take those as suggestions as they are often incorrect.
