LibGuides: IACUC: The 3Rs and the Literature Search: Subscription Databases

Subscription Databases

These databases are only available to OSU-affiliated researchers, staff, or students. As with the free databases, most of our subscription databases focus on a general subject area. You may be surprised by the inclusion of physics and computer science databases, but these can be helpful for researchers looking for computer models.

Databases are used to locate journal articles from hundreds or even thousands of journals. Some journals will be available online (e-journals), some in print only and some will be available both online and in print.

Web of Science This link opens in a new window
The web version of Science Citation Index (SCI) and Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). The Web of Science accesses a multidisciplinary database of bibliographic information gathered from thousands of scholarly journals. The databases are indexed so you can search for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Because the information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list (often called its bibliography), you can also search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work.
