What is a Library Database?

A database is a collection of information resources organized to provide efficient retrieval. The collected information could be in any number of formats (electronic, printed, graphic, audio, statistical, combinations). With access to thousands of journals, newspapers, and popular magazines, how do you find the resources you need?

Databases: Why Use Them?

• Generating Research Leads From What You Have in Hand
• Getting around Paywalls on the Web
• Citing Your Sources

Research projects often require you to look close up at a body of research produced by scholars in a particular field.  This research is typically collected, codified, and made findable in a tool called a  subject database .

Every academic discipline has at least one subject database that's considered the disciplinary gold standard -- a reliable, (relatively) comprehensive, and accurate record of the books that scholars are publishing, and the ideas they're debating and discussing in important and influential journals. 

Databases are like lenses: they change what you see and how you see it -- and they offer you easy and efficient ways to bring your questions into sharper focus.

Philosophy 

Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy .

• Excellent for overview essays written by recognized subject experts and prominent academics, and accompanied by bibliography leads. 

Oxford Bibliographies Online: Philosophy    Harvard Key  

• Annotated reading lists curated by experts, regularly checked for their currency and updated when necessary, OBOs aim to be representative, not comprehensive -- of the most impactful scholarship that's been produced to date. 
• An online databas of scholarship  maintained by philosophers themselves that collects, categorizes, and makes philosophy research findable.  Specially curated pages perhaps pertinent to course themes include Philosophy of Language (which identifies key works and key introductory texts); Philosophy of Literature ; and Literary Values .

LINGUISTICS 

Oxford bibliographies online: linguistics    harvard key , linguistics and language behavior abstracts   harvard key .

• A database that identifies articles, books, and other scholarly materials on linguistics and its related fields. 

Psychology 

Oxford bibliographies online: language (psychology) , apa psycinfo    harvard key .

• The most important database access to research on all aspects of psychology,

LITERATURE 

Johns hopkins guide to literary theory and criticism    harvard key .

• A comprehensive survey of the the most important figures, schools, and movements in literary theory.

Oxford Bibliographies Online: Literary and Cultural Theory   Harvard Key 

Mla international bibliography     harvard key .

• The gold standard database for topics related to literature in all languages, folklore, cultural studies, theory, and more. 

Multidisciplinary 

Google scholar.

Although it's not a Harvard Library "database,"  Google Scholar  is perfectly acceptable for most general forays into scholarship; its algorithms are excellent and do return relevant results.

One of the best ways to generate research leads with Scholar is to use it to follow  citation trails    when you have a known source -- a class reading, a book you've found on HOLLIS that looks promising, an article that's so "perfect" for a research project that you want to see if there's "more like it" out there, waiting to be discovered. 

For example: 

• You can click on  cited by   to see which scholars picked up and used a research article/book in research. Just enter the title.
• Big "cited by" lists can be whittled down by adding keywords and clicking on the   search within cited reference  option.
• Related articles  helps you identify r esearch that's close ----algorithmically, at least -- to the item you started with. 
• Authors whose names are hotlinked reveal publications pages -- where you migth find additional/related publications (and see their times cited, too!)

If you want to find out what college professors and other academics and scholars are publishing about your industry or career, consider searching library databases. Scholarship is published in books (often published by university presses) and academic journals. You can also search for print books in libraries and bookstores. Scholarly articles might help you develop your own ideas and ethics about your proposed career since such articles are not published by industry but by academia.

For example, Advertising Age trade magazine isn't going to be critical of the advertising world, but the British Journal of Social Psychology likely will.

Academic Search Ultimate ( A) A partly full-text article and indexing database that covers all academic disciplines. Academic or scholarly journal articles, trade publication articles, conference papers, and magazine and newspaper articles are here. Important: Click the “Search for Item” image if you don’t see a PDF or HTML link in an article. This is a powerful tool that searches all the other databases for the article. Try searching in the title or abstract for your terms. Put phrases between quotation marks.

Ebook Central (E) This is a 100% full text book database. You can read online, download chapters, print chapters, and download most books for a limited time. The best bet is to download PDF chapters, which you can have permanently. There are other tools in the database, as well.

Bibliometrics Overview

Welcome to Purdue University's Citation Databases Research Guide

Here you will find...

• Information on citation databases
• Descriptions of these databases
• Helpful examples on how to use them
• Use cases for each of the major citation databases
• Useful tips and tricks on how to best make use of them

Here are some definitions of common terms made use of by citation databases

• Bibliometrics is the statistical analysis of scholarly output like articles, book chapters, and reviews.
• Altmetrics: is the statistical analysis of alternative forms of capture such as twitter impressions of a piece of scholarly output.

Some common metrics are the H-index, Journal Impact Factor, and the FWCI (called CNCI in Web of Science).

• H-Index is a measure of how many times a journals published articles are cited, an index of fifteen means an article has been cited 15 times.
• Journal Impact Factor (IF) – A measurement of how many times a journal’s published articles are cited by different researchers.
• FWCI – Publication Field weighted citation indices indicate how the number of citations received by researcher’s publications compared to the average number for similar publications.
• Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) – Calculated using Web of Science, CNCI is “an indicator of impact normalized for subject focus, age and document type. A CNCI of 1 is at par with the world average, anything above 2 is twice the global average
• SJR - Scimago Journal Rank is a measure of the "prestige" of journals which makes use of both the number of citations a journal accrues and the perception of those journals in the wider academic community
• SNIP - Source Normalized Impact per Paper is a metric which accounts for the field specific differences between journals. The need for this is that some fields have different publishing practices, time frames, and constraints. This results in the need for a metric like SNIP which is calculated by comparing the citations per journal with the citation potential of the field as a whole, in other words it would measure of history journal against other history journals and vice versa for other academic disciplines

Here are the five most common Citation Databases' Key Strengths and Use Cases

• Web of Science: Core Collection Access the world’s leading scholarly literature in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities and examine proceedings of international conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and conventions. -Science Citation Index Expanded (1900-present) -Social Sciences Citation Index (1900-present) -Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-present) -Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science (1990-present) -Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Social Science & Humanities (1990-present) -Book Citation Index– Science (2005-present) -Book Citation Index– Social Sciences & Humanities (2005-present) -Current Chemical Reactions (1985-present) (Includes Institut National de la Propriete Industrielle structure data back to 1840) -Index Chemicus (1993-present) -Emerging Sources Citation Index (2005 – present)
• Google Scholar Searches for scholarly materials such as peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from broad areas of research. It includes a variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.
• Dimensions Dimensions is a citations database which specializes in providing abstracts, citations, and patents to users. While the Library does not currently subscribe, you can access the free version of the database from this link

Single-cell multi-omics sequencing has greatly accelerated reproductive research in recent years, and the data are continually growing. However, utilizing these data resources is challenging for wet-lab researchers. A comprehensive platform for exploring single-cell multi-omics data related to reproduction is urgently needed. Here we introduce the single-cell multi-omics atlas of reproduction (SMARTdb), which is an integrative and user-friendly platform for exploring molecular dynamics of reproductive development, aging, and disease, covering multi-omics, multi-species, and multi-stage data. We have curated and analyzed single-cell transcriptome and epigenome data of over 2.0 million cells from 6 species across whole lifespan. A series of powerful functionalities are provided, such as “Query gene expression”, “DIY expression plot”, “DNA methylation plot”, and “Epigenome browser”. With SMARTdb, we found that the male germ-cell-specific expression pattern of RPL39L and RPL10L is conserved between human and other model animals. Moreover, DNA hypomethylation and open chromatin may regulate the specific expression pattern of RPL39L collectively in both male and female germ cells. In summary, SMARTdb is a powerful platform for convenient data mining and gaining novel insights into reproductive development, aging, and disease. SMARTdb is publicly available at https://smart-db.cn .
