Journal articles

Have a look at our complete list of electronic article and citation databases to see the range of what's available to you.  Databases vary widely. Some provide you with full text articles, others with only citations, some with both. If the full text of the article is not available, however, most of the databases at SFU will give you the option to find the article either in print in the Library, in another electronic database or at another institution. Click on the "Where Can I Get This?" link in the citation. This process is described in greater detail in the "How to Find Journal Articles" tutorial.

Selected Journals

Recommended by H. Kang. 

It is best to search for these journals through a database such as Sociological Abstracts.  If you wish to limit your search in these individual journals from within that database, try entering the "name of the journal" in the search box with the option of "Journal name, JN=" from the pulldown menu.
