Databases- Locating Your Discipline(s)

Choose your approach:

In the Database Directory (aka the A to Z list), choose each disciplinary lens you're using for your project from the drop-down Departments/Programs menu at the top left to see the suggested resources for those subjects.

OR

Search a multidisciplinary database, such as Scopus or Web of Science, then filter your results by discipline/subject area(s).

 

PRO TIP: When you peruse your results, notice journal titles that appear frequently or seem closely aligned with your topic or disciplinary approach. See if you can search for all of the articles from that journal in a database, then filter that set with keywords for your topic. This is a golden opportunity to ask your thesis advisor about journals they recommend in your subject area.
