Academic journals publish peer-reviewed articles about a specific subject area. They are a great source for current and emerging research on a topic. Learn more about academic journals on our 'Types of information' page.
A great place to start finding articles is through a general Library Search. This allows you to search the entire library catalogue and other resources (e.g. journal or newspaper articles, reports) in one simple search. You can start a search using the box below, or via the Library homepage.
Discover journals relevant to your subject area
Journals by subject are automatically sorted alphabetically by title, but you can also sort titles by their journal rank (the app is using the SCImago Journal Rank).
Review articles summarise research on a topic and can be useful for literature review purposes. Look out for these or try adding keywords like "review" in your searches. Many journals produce them, and some specialise in this area, notably the Annual Reviews series of publications.
Life Sciences titles include Biochemistry, Biophysics, Cancer Biology, Cell & Developmental Biology, Ecology and Evolution, Entomology, Genetics, Marine Science, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Physiology and Plant Biology.
