Finding Articles in Journals
To find articles in journals, magazines, newspapers, etc., use an article database that covers your topic.
Academic Search Premiere, 1984-present General magazines and scholarly journals, primarily in the social sciences and humanities. Includes full-text.
Contemporary Women's Issues. 1982-present. Index to articles from 600 journals covering global information on women. Covers such disciplines as sociology, psychology, health, education and human rights.
Women Studies Abstracts. 1972-Present. Ref HQ1101 .W6.
Electronic journals
OSU Libraries online journals related to women studies
These must be searched one journal title at a time, so this is not a very efficient way to search.
Unless you are interested in searching one specific electronic journal, it is recommended that you use a periodical index/database to do your searching. One advantage of electronic journals is that they are full-text online. This list is subject to change, and years of coverage will vary by journal.
