Searching for scientific articles

The following functions make it easier for you to search for journal articles in CatalogPLUS.

OPEN ACCESS filter

This filter offers you “free to read” content, including open access materials.

PEER REVIEWED filter

By using the Peer-reviewed Journals filter, you narrow down your search results to scientific journal articles that have undergone peer review.

CITATION TRAIL

The up arrow leads you to journal articles that cite this publication. Conversely, the down arrow takes you to journal articles that have been cited in this publication, meaning they are listed in its bibliography.

NEW! Identifying PREDATORY JOURNALS

Unsure if a journal is trustworthy? Cabell's Predatory Reports is a database that contains a list of deceptive and predatory journals which is now also integrated into the library catalog.
