Many publishers offer their journals in the form of separate databases.

An overview of journals in the publishers’ databases can in most cases be seen by using the links Browse or Journals by Subject. You can move from a wider range to a narrower subject area until you reach the list of journals of your subject, where you can browse the contents of journal issues and read articles. You can also browse the whole alphabetical list of journals or select a certain journal.

Access is usually given to the full texts of newer volumes, not to all volumes of the journal. The access range differs by different databases.

University of Tartu has access, via the university library, to multidisciplinary databases of the following publishers.

NB! You can access full texts by the following links only in case you use the VPN connection. 

Cambridge Journals Online
Access to Cambridge University Press e-journals. The collection includes over 300 journals from various disciplines. On the main page of the database, there is a Browse by Subject link, where you can see the fields and, by clicking on them, lists of journals. Access is only to journals.

Emerald Insight

On the main page of the database, there is a link Browse our Content, where by selecting Books and Journals, you can further select the subjects and the lists of journals.

Sage Journals Online

Social sciences play an important role. The home page has a Browse by Discipline link, where you can select narrower fields under the four major fields and browse the journals under them.

ScienceDirect

Springer Link
The multidisciplinary database contains over 2,700 e-journals. The Springer Link home page https://link.springer.com/ has a Browse by Subject section, where after selecting a field, select Journals under Content type to see journals in that field.

Taylor & Francis Online 
Access to Taylor & Francis e-journal collections Science & Technology Library and Social Science & Humanities Library. Information about the fields and journals included in the collections can be found here https://librarianresources.taylorandfrancis.com/product-info/journals/. Access to full texts since 1997.

Wiley Online Library 
Wiley e-journals. On the left of the main page of the database there is an alphabetical list of journals and below (Subjects) you can browse the journals under them by clicking on the fields. Access to full texts since 1997.

In addition to these, there are special databases for many specialities of specific publishers, e.g., PsycArticles, American Chemical Society e-journals, American Society for Microbiology e-journals, etc.

Publishers’ databases containing journals on your speciality can be found on the Databases page by choosing the category on the left. 

When searching subject databases or, e.g., the EBSCO database Academic Search Complete, you can follow the links and reach the full texts of journals that are also included in the publishers’ databases (in EBSCO, there is the button ‘Linked Full Text’ under the article record), but this may differ in different databases. In case EBSCO or a subject reference database does not offer a link to the full text, check out the access to the journal by its title on the portal of e-journals or by the title of the article in Google Scholar. In Google Scholar you can access the full text of the article which is available for the university if you use the VPN connection. 

For performing an exhaustive search on your subject it may still be useful to make separate searches in the publishers’ databases that contain journals on your subject.
