Research Guides: Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Find Journal Articles

Finding Journal Articles using Databases

One of the best ways to search for peer-reviewed journal articles is to use a literature database. NYU Libraries provides full text access to many academic journals through databases. Databases index the research articles in journals and have search filtering tools. Most databases have quality standards that journals need to meet to be included, which reduces your chances of encountering predatory publications.

Databases

Here are some useful databases to get you started with finding journals articles for chemical and biomolecular engineering:

AccessEngineering

AccessEngineering provides reference E-Books and instructional videos on major areas of engineering. It features content from a broad range of engineering publications, including the latest editions of classics such as Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook, Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers, and Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain. This collection also includes some Schaum's outlines.
ACS Publications
Search the journals of the American Chemical Society.
Annual Reviews
Annual Reviews offers comprehensive, timely collections of critical reviews written by leading scientists. Annual Reviews volumes are published each year for 29 focused disciplines within the Biomedical, Physical, and Social Sciences.
Engineering Village (Formerly Compendex)
Engineering Village is a specialized discovery platform where researchers can effectively search multiple engineering databases all in one place.
AccessScience
AccessScience is a collection of introductory reference materials relating to the major scientific disciplines. Users will find definitions, articles, images, videos, and curriculum maps drawn from the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, the McGraw-Hill Yearbook of Science & Technology, and the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms.

Organic Syntheses
Since 1921, Organic Syntheses has provided the chemistry community with annual collections of detailed, reliable, and carefully checked procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds. Some procedures describe practical methods for the preparation of specific compounds of interest, while other procedures illustrate important synthetic methods with general utility. Each procedure is written in considerably more detail as compared to typical experimental procedures in other journals, and each reaction and all characterization data has been carefully "checked" for reproducibility in the laboratory of a member of the Board of Editors.
PubMed Central (PMC)
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature.

Royal Society of Chemistry
Provides access to journals, books and databases from the Royal Society of Chemistry. You can reach over 1 million chemical science articles and chapters.
Sage Journals Online
SAGE Journals Online is a single-search interface for full-text access to journals published by SAGE. Users can discover content in many disciplines across the Health Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities, Engineering, and Life Sciences.
ScienceDirect
ScienceDirect is a portal for scholarship published in the sciences, engineering, and technology disciplines.
AIP Publishing (formerly AIP Scitation)
AIP Publishing is a wholly owned not-for-profit subsidiary of the American Institute of Physics (AIP). AIP Publishing's mission is to support the charitable, scientific and educational purposes of AIP through scholarly publishing activities in the fields of the physical and related sciences.
SpringerLink
SpringerLink provides access to journal articles, books, and reference works in the biomedical sciences, life sciences, and computer sciences.
Web of Science Core Collection
Web of Science Core Collection is a multidisciplinary citation index that includes scholarly articles, conference proceedings, and books in the biomedical, psychosocial, and arts and humanities. The collections contain Science Citation, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index , Conference Proceedings Citation Index, Book Citation Index, Emerging Sources Citation Index and Current Chemical Reactions index.
Wiley Current Protocols
Current Protocols has been the leading source of laboratory protocols for over 25 years and comprises more than 14,000 straightforward, step-by-step procedures and techniques across 17 titles. This is the Protocols database of Wiley ONLINE LIBRARY.
