Articles & Databases

The DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) was launched in 2003 at Lund University, Sweden, with 300 open-access journals. Today, the independent database contains ca. 12,000 open-access journals covering all areas of science, technology, medicine, social science, and humanities.

Because this is a directory of peer-reviewed journals freely accessible on the web, the titles cover a wide range of topics; careful searching may be necessary to discover relevant articles.

Published articles:

• Are fully peer-reviewed
• Are immediately free to access and download from ScienceDirect
• Permitted re-use defined by the author’s choice of Creative Commons user licenses
• Published with CrossMark to maintain the publication record

We subscribe to three JSTOR collections:

Arts & Sciences 1Ⅰ

Core research and society publications in the represented disciplines (economics, history, political science, & sociology).

Arts & Sciences 12Ⅻ

Extends coverage in the social sciences, focusing on disciplines with high usage and broad appeal across all levels of higher education; education, law, and political science disciplines anchor the collection, and include journals from the American Bar Association, Brill, Lynn Reiner, and Springer.

Life Sciences

Merges the Biological Sciences and Health & General Science Collections together into a single multidisciplinary collection; extraordinary depth in the field sciences and coverage in medicine, nursing, epidemiology, and public health.

The Retraction Watch blog chronicles news stories about prominent retractions.

Designed for an audience ranging from novice test consumers to experienced professionals, the MMY series contains information essential for a complete evaluation of test products within such diverse areas as psychology, education, business, and leadership. All MMY entries contain descriptive information (e.g., test purpose, publisher, pricing) and edited review(s) written by leading content area experts. To be included in the MMY, a test must be commercially available, be published in the English language, and be new or revised since it last appeared in the series. First published by Oscar K. Buros, the MMY series allows users to make knowledgeable judgments and informed selection decisions about the increasingly complex world of testing.

Also produced by the Buros Center for Testing at the University of Nebraska, Tests in Print (TIP) serves as a comprehensive bibliography to all known commercially available tests that are currently in print in the English language. TIP provides vital information to users including test purpose, test publisher, in-print status, price, test acronym, intended test population, administration times, publication date(s), and test author(s).

As the books division of the NLM Literature Archive (NLM LitArch), the digital repository of full-text literature, Bookshelf serves not only to preserve and maintain free access to electronic biomedical literature, but through its integration with other NCBI resources, such as PubMed, Gene, OMIM, and PubChem, it fosters both intentional and serendipitous discoveries.

This new collaboration extends the work started in 2014, when EBSCO and the H.W. Wilson Foundation created American Doctoral Dissertations, which contained indexing from the H.W. Wilson print publication, Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1933–1955. In 2015, the H.W. Wilson Foundation agreed to support the expansion of the scope of the American Doctoral Dissertations database to include records for dissertations and theses from 1955 to the present.

Metadata (information about the theses) comes from over 1100 colleges, universities, and research institutions.
