…can be found by making use of Web of Science. While we may recommend EBSCO PsycINFO and ScienceDirect as the main databases for most courses in the School of Psychology, Web of Science is an excellent source of further research. It is what is known as a ‘citation database’, which means that it indexes a large number of journals (over 10,000 different publications) and conference papers (currently over 120,000) but without the full-text you may find in some other databases. You can search for the full-text within UEL’s collections by clicking on the ‘SFX’ link which appears below each article.
To access Web of Science, choose ‘Web of Knowledge’ from the A-Z list on the Library’s e-journals and databases webpage. Once you are in, click through until you reach the Web of Science search screen. The best way to find things is to start with a fairly simple search term. From the results page you will then see lots of different options on the left-hand side to refine your results. There is also the option to export citations to Endnote.
