Physics Databases

APS Journals
A repository of a number of journals about the physical sciences, along with Physics Magazine. Includes access to 17 different journals with content dating back to 1893.
AIP Publishing
Contains journals, books, conference proceedings, and the most recent issue of Physics Today. Topics primarily focus on the physical sciences.
IOPscience
IOPscience is an online service for journal content published by IOP Publishing. IOPscience embraces innovative technologies to make it easier for researchers to access scientific, technical and medical content.
Web of Science
A powerful research platform that connects publications and researchers through citations and indexed metadata. Covers multiple disciplines across sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities. Especially valuable for students conducting literature reviews, tracking research impact, or finding seminal papers in their field. Its unique citation network allows you to see which papers cite each other, helping you trace how ideas develop and identify the most influential research.
Science Database
Database of academic journals that cover the general sciences. Resources date back to 1986 and include full-text.

The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System
The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a digital library portal for researchers in astronomy and physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant.

Science
Emphasis is on material pertaining to the interactions among science, technology, government, and society. Topical coverage includes the physical, biological, and social sciences.
Science Citation Index
A interdisciplinary database, with searchable author abstracts, covering the journal literature of the sciences. Contains cited references from 1997 to the present. Includes new cited references to patents per week.
Springer Link Journals
Providing researchers with access to millions of scientific documents from scholarly journals. (Also See Springer Link Ebooks)
Applied Science & Technology Full Text
Contains indexing and abstracts for nearly 800 core English-language, scientific and technical publications back to 1983. Full text of articles are available from more than 220 periodicals dating back to 1997, including page images that provide access to original illustrations, charts and photographs. Content includes coverage of a wide variety of applied science specialties, acoustics to aeronautics, neural networks to nuclear and civil engineering, computers and informatics and much more from leading trade and industrial journals, professional and technical society journals, specialized subject periodicals, buyers guides, directories and conference proceedings.

Academic Search Premier
A multi-disciplinary database of thousands of magazines and journals, including full text for nearly 4,000 peer-reviewed titles.
JSTOR
A large collection of academic journals, books, and historical documents covering arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Contains complete runs of many journals, including their oldest issues. Great for students who need well-established research or want to see how ideas have developed over time. Typically does not include the most current 3-5 years of research.
arXiv
Electronic archive and distribution server for research articles. It provides open access to e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Natural Sciences, Statistics, Biology
PubMed
Essential database for medicine, nursing, biology, and health sciences students. Covers medical research, clinical trials, and practice guidelines with specialized search tools for diseases and treatments. Ideal for finding evidence-based information for case studies, literature reviews, and research papers.
