SCHOLARLY JOURNALS

 

Scholarly or academic journals are important resources for academic research and assignment writing as they contain up-to-date, specific and often in-depth information. It is even better to use peer-reviewed journals for research. These journals contain articles that have been critiqued by scholars/experts in the same field to ensure that they reflect solid scholarship and high academic standards.

The best and most efficient way of finding articles in peer-reviewed journals is to search the online databases. Here, by doing an advanced search, you can often limit the search to "peer-reviewed articles only" or "scholarly articles only". UKZN library no longer receives print journals so all articles are online.

The online databases can be found on the Databases A - Z list.

Online articles in databases subscribed to by the UKZN library are also listed in the iCatalogue making the catalogue a one-stop shop for accessing a range of scholarly resources.

Google Scholar also indexes journal articles with links to free full text and the full text of those articles subscribed to by UKZN.
