Identifying journals for your research

Our article databases index/abstract or provide the full-text of thousands journals. To identify journals in a particular field:

  • Use the Journal Finder to search by journal title or keyword, but be aware that it will only find those titles that are available full-text in the GGU Library databases.
  • Try searching by keyword:

San Francisco Public Library has the much more complete database.  Any California resident can get a library card at SFPL and access the databases remotely:

Also, a mix of scholarly and popular titles can be found in the Directory of Open Access Journals:

If you wish to identify the relatively few top or leading journals in a particular field, a key approach is to find rankings/metrics.  Information on how to use resources for citation analysis, which includes information about impact factors, journal rankings, altmetrics, and how to find who has cited an article, is presented in excellent detail at:

Since GGU Business Library does not subscribe to any of the citation analysis services, you may wish to focus on the freely available ones, such as Google Scholar and those listed in the "Alternative Methods" section of that guide.

Also note that leading journals may display their rankings/impact factors on their own publishers' websites.

Some EBSCO databases provide the ability to "browse references." When you run a Basic or Advanced Keyword Search, any Cited References or Times Cited links that are available are presented with your search results. See:

The Cited References  link under "More" on the dark gray band above the search windows gives you more options. These options may not be available when searching more than one database at a time.

In ProQuest databases look under the brief listing of each article in your search results for "Cited by (‎14)." This feature will generally be for scholarly/peer reviewed sources.
