Best Bet Databases

Here are some databases that are "best bets" for physics research. We recommend them because they include journals, periodicals, eBooks, and reference sources on a wide variety of physics topics.

arXiv.org d-Print archive This link opens in a new window
Open access to 379,320 e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and Quantitative Biology
Scopus This link opens in a new window
Scopus is a comprehensive, source-neutral abstract and citation database curated by independent subject matter experts. It places powerful discovery and analytics tools in the hands of researchers, librarians, institutional research managers and funders. Scopus powers better decision-making with curated, complete and connected data.
Science Database This link opens in a new window
With coverage dating back to 1986, ProQuest Science Journals features over 1,145 titles—with more than 965 available in full text. In full-text format, researchers have access to all the charts, diagrams, graphs, tables, photos, and other graphical elements so vital to scientific and technical literature.
