  • Databases to search for articles

 

Great for going deeper

Articles, which you can access through databases and through the library's catalog, will report on specific research done by scholars in the field. When you know your topic or research question, dig into articles for information that will support your ideas or answer your questions.

Search Library Databases

double arrow pointing rightStart with these core databases

Try these go-to databases first for nursing research and nursing journals. Then explore the other tabs of this section for databases that focus on various aspects of health and medical research.

magnifying class iconSearch Tips: Nursing Journals @ Ovid

Because we only have access to the latest 5 years of AJN, Nursing, the Journal of Nursing Administration, MCN, and Nursing Research, you might come across articles that require payment to view. Try these steps to limit your search to only full-text articles:

  • Make sure to check the Your Journals @Ovid box when you first open the database.
  • Expand the Limits options and enter a date range that only includes the last 5 years.

You can also search the titles of articles without full text in the Library Catalog to see if we have access to them in other databases.

Questions along the way? Email your Reference & Instruction Librarian, Amanda, at reference@uj.edu.
