Serves as a comprehensive resource for research and communications in the geological and earth sciences. It is built on a core database aggregation of peer-reviewed journals indexed, linked, and is inter-operable with GeoRef.
Review articles are indexed in the databases listed above, but we also have a subscription to a journal package called "Annual Reviews". These are scholarly, peer-reviewed journals that only publish review articles.
The Scopus database covers scholarly research in all disciplines and it allows you to do citation searching to see who has cited an article. This can be very helpful in finding more recent research on a topic. It can also help you identify articles that have been cited many times (and thus, are likely to be influential articles).
Largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: over 21,500 scientific journals, 130,000 books and conference proceedings, covering all fields of academic study: science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities. Scopus also includes 8 citation metrics, analyzing impact at the author, article, journal, and institution levels.
Now includes Scopus AI, a research tool that generates summaries based on Scopus abstracts with references to help decipher complex content, facilitate deeper exploration, and provide academic insights.
Sometimes your topic may require finding articles in related fields. These are some good databases to start with.
