Research Resources

Databases specific to your research subject area can be accessed via the Subject Resources page using the dropdown subject filter or the Databases A-Z. LibrarySearch, our Library catalogue, is a good starting point for subject searches.

Below you will find a list of cross-subject databases and tools to support your research. For example, use WIRE, EThOS and CORE to search for theses and Open Access resources. Browzine and JournalTOCs can be used to set up alerts to new content in key journals. Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar can help identify where a paper has been cited and also give article and author bibliometrics.
