Looking for Journal Articles?

When you need current, up-to date information, it is best to look for journal articles. Journal articles in peer-reviewed journals assume that you know the basics about the subject.

Here is a list of research databases that will work best. Remember that each database will give you different results so try each one.

Examples searches:

  • historiography "early modern england"
  • "early modern england"
  • "Norman Conquest"
  • Puritans
  • Reformation

Another way to find journal articles is to try and find the references listed. For example this citation:

Rose, J. (2011). Kingship and counsel in early modern England. Historical Journal, 54(1), 47-71. doi:10.1017/S0018246X10000567

Copy the journal title, Historical Journal, and go to the UFV Journals List . Paste the journal title into the search box and see what database offers online access.

In this case, Cambridge Journals Online. Make sure to double check the dates of coverage because the search only checks the journal title. In this case the coverage starts in 1997 so we are okay. Click on the Cambridge Journals Online link. At the top you will see a search box change the default to "This Journal and enter the article title "Kingship and counsel in early modern England" into the search box. You should then be able to locate the actual article.
