Web of Science – January Database of the Month

Explore the world’s leading citation database with multidisciplinary coverage of over 10,000 high-impact journals in the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities. FAU’s edition of Web of Science consists of the following  three citation databases containing references cited by the authors of the articles.

You can conduct traditional searches across the databases  or  do cited reference searching. This type of search allows you to find articles that cite a previously published work.  Other tools include Citation Maps, a graphic representation of citation relationships, and the Analyze Tool. Also see Web of  Science Training Opportunities.

JSTOR – September Database of the Month

Update (09/07/10): JSTOR has undergone  a major platform change and has a new look, see JSTOR Platform Highlights for more information. Also, if you are looking for a list of FAU Libraries’ subscription databases, go directly to Indexes/Databases.

Start your research with JSTOR

JSTOR offers a high-quality, interdisciplinary digital archive to support scholarship and teaching. FAU has JSTOR access to almost one thousand leading academic journals across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, and other materials valuable for academic work. The entire database is full-text searchable, offers search term highlighting, includes high-quality images (including search results from ArtStor), and is interlinked by millions of citations and references.

Journals are always included from volume 1, issue 1 and include previous and related titles, but the most recently published issues (past 3-5 years) are not generally available. However, several publishers provide links to the recent content on their own website, and you can include these article citations in your JSTOR search by checking the “Search for links to articles outside of JSTOR.” If FAU has access to these articles, you can click the “Find it at FAU” button to access the full text.
