Searching for journal articles
This guide aims to show different methods for searching for journal articles for Russian (and Slavonic) studies. If you already have the bibliographical details for a journal article from a reading-list or a bibliography then Find e-journal is the best place to start and the best search to do would be a citation search.
The guide aims to give an example of a citation search as well as different kinds of cross-search on SOLO, on OxLIP+ and on the Worldcat databases.
It covers individual databases that are good sources for articles for Russian studies such as MLA, ABSEES, International Medieval Bibliography and also the ZETOC database which provides tables of contents for many relevant journals.
It offers two annotated lists of journals relevant to Russian and Slavonic studies, one for journals available online and one for print-only journals (current and non-current)..
Databases with cross-searching
-
OxLIP+Strictly not a database but a 'platform', OxLIP+ has a cross-search facility across certain databases within subject groupings. These may be selected by the user. Not all results will be available online. See OxLIP+ search-tab for more information. More information about cross-searching on OxLIP+ is to be found later on in this guide.
-
Worldcat databasesThe Worldcat databases include a number of databases that are relevant to Russian and Slavonic studies. These can be selected and searched across. Worldcat will also tell you which are the 'best databases' for a particular search! More information about cross-searching on Worldcat databases is to be found later on in this guide.
