Find Journal Articles
Some databases, like IEEE/IEE Library, contain full-text articles. However, many of the databases you can use to find bioengineering journal articles are called Abstracting and Indexing databases because they contain citation information, such as author, journal, publication date, the abstract of the article, etc.
This citation information can be used to help locate the full-text in the following ways:
- Link to the full-text of the article in another database by clicking on a button that says
 .
- If you don't see the find it @ SU button, search Socrates, the Stanford Libraries Catalog, by Periodical Title to determine if the journal is available to you through the Stanford Libraries or browse our list of e-journals.
- If the journal is not in the Socrates, you can request it from another library via InterLibrary Services.
Suggested Databases to Use When Looking for Journal Articles
