Scopus This link opens in a new window
Another major multidisciplinary database. Covers 22,000+ journal sources from science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities, as well as almost 8M conference papers and 28+M patents.
Google Scholar This link opens in a new window
Covers a broad range of content, including patents, presentations, and reports, as well as journal articles. However, it does not offer an easy way to filter for peer reviewed articles.
