A List of Journals
-
Below is a list of journals divided according to areas of study. However, bee careful: some of them are not necessarily academic. Most often in political science courses, students are required to use academic sources for their research. Click this link for detailed information: What is an academic article? WHEN YOU FIND A USEFUL ACADEMIC ARTICLE, ALWAYS CHECK THE FOOTNOTES, ENDNOTES, OR BIBLIOGRAPHY CAREFULLY. This will often lead you to some more relevant and valuable sources related to your research topic.
-
START EARLY! Our library may not carry journals and books you need. But, almost any book or article you may need can be obtained free of charge through Document Delivery Services at the library. This usually takes at least a week or two, so you need to find and order the material early. Otherwise, you may not get it in time. To order material online, click on the Document Delivery Services link on library home page and fill up the order form. The best part of it is FREE.
