Databases

The following databases focus on specific subjects of interest to Neuroscience. Some may use specialized terminology or offer advanced features not available in more comprehensive search tools, but they will identify only a subset of content that is available.

Web of Science
Identifies journal articles and cited references to research publications from all disciplines, some with links to full text.

Comprised of three databases that can be searched separately or in combination: Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-current), Science Citation Index Expanded (1973-current), Social Sciences Citation Index (1973-current).
