Where to Start
Need articles but not sure where to start? These are some recommended databases for getting started.
- International Encyclopedia of CommunicationThis encyclopedia contains over 1300 entries that range across academic disciplines. Useful for topics in communication studies, sociology, psychology, information science, public policy and linguistics, among others.
- Communication & Mass Media CompleteProvides coverage of more than 500 journals in the communication and mass media fields, including full-text for more than 230 journals. Coverage for significant titles in the field goes back to their very first issue (as far back as 1915).
- JSTORProvides full-text access to the archives of core scholarly journals in the humanities and social sciences.
- PsycINFO This is the best database for research in psychological topics but consider it for other topics including medicine, psychiatry, nursing, sociology, education, linguistics, anthropology, business and law.
