Finding Citations at ESF/SU:
The first three search tools are interdisciplinary SUMMIT databases. Go to the databases main menu under 鈥渞esearch tools鈥� to find the databases alphabetized by name.
- Academic OneFile (limit to articles with full text AND refereed publications)
- ProQuest (limit to full text AND scholarly journals including peer-reviewed)

Another SUMMIT database, Ulrich鈥檚 Periodicals Directory, allows the user to enter a journal title to get a link to detailed information on that publication, including whether it is refereed.
