Research databases are large collections of journal articles and other academic papers. Some cover lots of subjects (Academic Search Complete and publisher packages such as Wiley or SAGE), and others are more specialist (for example, PsycInfo for psychology or Emerald for leadership and management). Many are included within Library Search but some are not (British Education Index and ERIC being notable examples).
Are you undertaking a Systematic Review methodology or 'systematic literature review'? Recommended databases include British Education Index, ERIC, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete and ProQuest (Education Database - use the 'choose databases' tab to select those you wish to search).
Our Browzine collection offers a great visual way to browse journals in your area, build your own bookcases, save links to articles, and explore special issues and articles in press. Here is a link to the journals categorised under Education.
There are a few journals and publications which might not be available through Library Search or research databases, including the following:
Subject association memberships and subject-specific journals
We may not have a subject or professional association membership for all curriculum areas because they do not always offer suitable subscription packages to libraries. We prioritise access to resources for all students and staff and preferably off-campus as well as on-campus. However, you may wish to investigate whether you can subscribe as a student or teacher member individually. The Council for Subject Associations directory may be useful.
The University subscribes to many other journals which are relevant to other school subjects, and if the subscription is online these will appear in Library Search results and on the Journals A-Z listings e.g. trainees focusing on art will find the International Journal of Art and Design Education of particular value.
