How do I find articles in a specific journal?
Maybe you know that
Angewandte Chemie is a highly respected journal and you want to see some articles from it, or you heard on the radio about a new study in
Nature. Or you want to browse the contents of recent issues of a specific journal.
- If you want to browse through the tables of contents of a particular journal, the easiest way is to go to that journal's home page and select a volume and issue to browse through. Journal sites also provide search capabilities if you're looking for a particular topic or author.
- To get to a journal's home page, find it via our Journals database.
Virtually all bibliographic databases (indexes) allow you to search for or limit to articles using some or all of the words in a journal's title. Depending on the database you're using, you'll either have a text box labeled something like "journal title," "source title," or "source publication," or you'll have a generic text box which you can limit using drop-down menus. Just type in a journal's name, and run the search.
 In SciFinder: |
 In Chemical Abstracts - Student Edition: |
- Under Explore References, choose "Journal".
- Type words from the journal title in the appropriate box on the form.
- Type a year or range of years to limit your results if necessary.
- This will pull up ALL articles indexed by Chemical Abstracts from that publication.
- Use Refine to narrow your results further if you wish.
|
- Enter the journal title (or words from its title) in the first search box
- Choose the "Source" field for that box.
- Enter a year or range of years if you want to limit your search. You can also enter keywords or an author name in another search box.
- Remember that this database indexes only about 300 journals, and you won't find any records for journals outside this group.
- Results are sorted in reverse chronological order, but there is no easy way to view the table of contents of a particular issue.
