How to Search within a Journal
When you search in an article database, you are searching the databases's collection of journals. The results you get will be individual articles from a number of different journals. There is a way to search so that you only get results from a specific journal.
Why would you want to do that?
There are certain journals in each field that are respected and publish important research in that field.
In order to search in a specific journal you can follow these steps:
- Go to the main library's homepage
- Click on the red Journals icon
- Type in the journal's title
- If it comes up, you will be able to search within the publication or you can click on the database with the years available and then browse by issue.
Below is a list of journals that the UHV Library has access to that you might want to explore for your research papers.
