Articles in scholarly journals are written for and by experts in their chosen field and focus on a particular research interest, such as experimental psychology or aerodynamics. Scholarly journals are published in every academic discipline and are used as a means for scholars and researchers to share their research and discoveries with others who are also experts in their discipline. - Jim Alderman, UNF Library emeritus.
Use library research databases to find articles in scholarly journals. Select the Print Indexes tab for indexes/abstracts that cover longer time periods than the online databases.
Journals in the humanities, social sciences, and mathematics, published by Johns Hopkins University Press.
These print index/abstracts cover a longer time span than most of the electronic indexes.
An index is simply a list (by subject/alphabet) of basic information about articles found in magazines, journals, books, newspapers, etc. The information will include the article title, author, publication title, month/volume, day, page number, etc. That's called a citation.
An abstract is exactly the same except that there is a short paragraph describing each article -- a summary.
Once you have the citation, you'll use the library catalog to see if UNF has the journal, book, etc.
