A data­base with an in­ter­dis­cip­lin­ary pro­file

Academic Search Elite is an interdisciplinary database from EBSCOhost that provides access to thousands of academic journals, many of them available in full text – for example, American Historical Review, American Journal of Political Science, and British Journal of Psychology.

The database covers a wide range of disciplines – from business, economics and management to social sciences, humanities and natural sciences – making it an excellent supplement to other EBSCOhost databases available through the library.

When is Academic Search Elite useful?

Its interdisciplinary scope allows you to find articles on your topic from multiple perspectives.

Spe­cial fea­tures

Sub­jects

"Subjects Authority" is a list of subject terms that EBSCOhost assigns to the articles. Use these terms to narrow or broaden your search results – or as inspiration for finding other relevant keywords.

Lists of journ­als

Under "Publications Authority", you can limit your search to specific journals, browse their tables of contents and see which publication years are included in the database.

Ex­port ref­er­ences

Send references directly from EBSCO to Mendeley. This makes it easy to revisit the articles you want to use in your assignments or papers.

Peer re­viewed art­icles

Articles that have been peer reviewed are marked with a special “Peer reviewed” label.
