Journal articles are written by academics and researchers around the world and published in scholarly or peer reviewed journals. Scholarly articles are a valuable source of information for academic essays. You can find articles by using:

• Library databases (see Recommended Databases, above)
• Google Scholar
• Databases Multisearch

There are a number of ways to keep up to date with the latest publications in your area:

• Scan the weekly new titles list in the Library
• Scan the recently received journals in the Library
• Create journal alerts - Many databases and journal publishers provide a free alerting service that lets you know by email when a new journal issue is published and/or when articles on a particular topic are added to the database.

• Some useful alerting databases that cover philosophy are:
  • Philosopher's index: supports search alerts only. To create an alert for a search you've done, go into Search History and click Create SDI.
  • Current Contents: TOC (table of contents) and search alerts.
  • Project Muse: TOC alerts only.
  • ProQuest: TOC and search alerts.
  • Web of Science: search or citation alerts.
  • ScienceDirect: TOC, search, and citation alerts.
• Set up alerts for new books in your subject area using Global Books in Print or a publisher alerting service.
• Scan for new web sites:
  INFOMINE: This site enables you to search for high quality academic Internet resources.

Though a journal may not be currently received any more in print format, it may still be currently accessible online via a database, and an article you want may still be available in a back issue on the shelves.

Details of Library holdings for each journal title are on the catalogue record. There are separate records for electronic format journals, with links to full-text articles in databases.

Other journals can be found by searching the Journal indexes in the Library catalogue.

If you need an article that is not directly accessible at UC at all, the remaining option is to put in an Interloan request.

To search for journal articles on a particular topic, use one or more of the databases linked on the left, or go to the general Databases page for all database options.
