Articles

Journal articles are scholarly works that go through a quality control process called peer-review before they are published.

New and open databases to the Brock Library include Dimensions, CORE, BASE, Elicit, Open Alex, OSF Preprints, Paperity, SciELO, Scilit, Semantic Scholar, WorldWideScience.org, ResearchRabbit, The Lens, & Zenodo.

There are several preprint databases that publish open manuscripts of articles prior to being published by journals. These are valuable resources to search and browse through when searching emergent, new and interdisciplinary areas. These databases include: ArXiv.org, CiteSeerX, OSF Preprints, Preprints.org and others.

Several databases provide access to regional, national and international news articles.

A select list of databases including Omni that include scholarly articles are listed below.
