Google Scholar

 


Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a search engine that provides access to full-text articles to which Victoria University subscribes and to articles made freely available by the publisher. Use Advanced Scholar Search options by clicking on the hamburger icon (hamburger icon) in the upper left corner of the search page. 

Fulltext journal articles and research papers can be retrieved by clicking on the "Find Fulltext @ VU Library" link when it appears to the right of your search results. This will happen automatically while on campus but may need to be set up as "Library Links" under Scholar Settings to work from off-site.

Ulrichs


How can you tell if a journal is peer eviewed?

 

 

UlrichsWeb is the authoritative source to go to if you want to find out if a journal is peer reviewed or not.
In UlrichsWeb, type in your journal title. If the journal name has an icon like a little black and white striped referee shirt , the journal is peer reviewed.
