Chemistry Academic Databases

Databases are a more subject focused collection of academically published materials. Here are some of the databases that cover the topics of chemistry.

Broad Subject Databases

Start with these databases if you are just looking for research in Chemistry. These will give you research that also covers a broad range of disciplines.

Some of these will require you to sign in using your ECU log in details.

Academic Journals

Journals, similar to magazines, have a consistent cover title, and are published at regular intervals. Individual articles may be written by different authors, and generally cover different topics. Journal articles generally contain specific and more up-to- date information than is found in books.

  • Scholarly or peer-reviewed or refereed journals are academic quality journals, which are published to disseminate research findings. There is a high expectation that students use journal articles when researching for an assignment.
  • Trade publications are published to keep professions up-to-date.
  • Magazines are published for the general public.
