Geology Databases


Review Articles

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.


Citation Database

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).


Related and Interdisciplinary Databases

Sometimes your topic may require finding articles in related fields.  These are some good databases to start with.
