Interdisciplinary Databases

Not sure what discipline covers your topic? Not finding enough information? Interdisciplinary databases contain articles from the sciences, social sciences, and arts & humanities. They are a great way to see who is talking about your topic and to expand your research.

Academic Search Complete (EBSCO) This link opens in a new window
ProQuest Central (ProQuest) This link opens in a new window
JSTOR This link opens in a new window
Project Muse This link opens in a new window
Google Scholar This link opens in a new window
Google Scholar contains more scholarly information than a regular Google Search. But beware! Not everything comes from a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, so, as with everything, evaluate your sources before using them.

Web of Science and SCOPUS, while interdisciplinary, are weighted towards science.
