Is there a list of recommended Journals for my subject?
Last Updated: 09.Nov.2022 Views: 77

The library does not have a list of the "best" Journals to use but there are a couple of places to look that may help you.

  • Your lecturers may have recommended specific Journal Titles in the Reading List for your module so please check your list in Canvas. The linked FAQ 'Where can I find my reading list?' explains more.
  • If you want to see any titles that may be of use, it is possible to browse our full collection of Journals by subject. There are two ways to do this.

  1. The LibrarySearch catalogue contains an a-z list of Journals by category.

You can find the link to the Journal Search on the Library web page 'Subject Resources'.

Choose one of the subjects from the list under the heading 'Journals by category'. Subjects are displayed in alphabetical order.

For example, click 'Business & Economics' and this will display the first page of matching titles as well as a list of sub-categories (topics) on the left.

You can use these new categories to focus the results even further into one specific aspect. For example, Finance or Management have their own sub-categories.

When you see a title you would like to look at, use the Available Online link (if available) to be taken to the Journal.
