Module 4 - Locating - E-journals

Stanford has a collection of electronic journals, which can be searched by journal title or subject category. This site includes titles of journals that Stanford receives through subscription to databases such as Expanded Academic ASAP. Access to these electronic journals may not be reflected in Socrates. It is a good idea to search the E-journals database, particularly if you are trying to track down a specific journal title and a specific issue of that journal.

Open the electronic journals site and take a moment to search the journal title Psychology Today. Notice that the journal is provided from several different sources. Notice, also, that the online coverage dates are slightly different. If you were looking for an article from 1987, you would want to select From Gale. Continue following the links until you find the year and issue number you need, then select the article title.

While the e-journals site does not go down to the article level, Stanford's HighWire Press is a combination of journal titles and a repository of free, full-text, peer-reviewed articles. Take a look and notice that you can search by keywords, or browse either articles or journal titles by topic. Visit this site when you are looking for current information in the life sciences.
