CH 115: General Chemistry I

A guide for students in General Chemistry I.

Chemistry Research

The databases you explore in the activity will provide a lot of useful articles, but sometimes the information you need might be found elsewhere.

The following databases are recommended for use by your professors as well as your librarians.

You'll find these databases on the A-Z Database list both alphabetically and under the Chemistry subject. Log into Okta if prompted.

Looking for a specific publication (newspaper, journal, magazine)? Use the Journal Finder.

 

Academic Research

PUBLISHER DATABASES

These databases provide full text access to the subscriptions held by the Library of journals and conference papers published by specific publishers.


Non-Academic Chemistry Research

TRADE JOURNALS

Trade journals are for people who work in the field and need this information to do their jobs. These journals provide news and information on the major topics, people, and products involved in the field.


SCIENCE BLOGS & PODCASTS

These blogs are published quicker than the academic journals with which they're associated, and while the blog posts are not peer-reviewed, they can provide current news as well as descriptions of the research as it's being done rather than the finished study. Science blogs can also open an informal window into the day-to-day life of scientists as they go about their work.
