A journal is a scholarly publication containing articles written by researchers, academics and other experts. Journals focus on a specific discipline or field of study. Unlike newspapers and magazines, journals are intended for an academic or technical audience, not general readers.
Whilst you can browse individual journals to find relevant articles it is much quicker to useful online databases. Select the Databases tab to see which databases are available and to access them.
If you are looking for a specific article, e.g. one recommended by your tutor, the best resource to use is Library Search.
Enter the title of the article and select Articles from the drop down menu.
If the article is available from the Library the title will be displayed and you can access it by selecting the Full Text Online link below it.
If the Library does not provide access to the article you can request it through our Inter Library Loan service.
