Online Journals and Serials

Online Journals: Use the list below to access online journals and serials, by clicking on the title. The Access column indicates whether access is available to full-text (FT articles), abstracts (AB), or tables of contents (TC). Online coverage indicates the range of availability (volumes/years) of FT articles.

For those journal titles labeled with (archive), full-text access is available for back issues, excluding recent issues (the number of unavailable issues may vary by journal).

Print Journals:

Information on Current Awareness (Alerting) Services and Bibliographic Databases is available below.

Recently Added to the List:

Recently Expanded:

  • American Fisheries Society journals now have more extensive back issues, as do some titles from Blackwell and the American Society for Microbiology. (7/19/2004)
  • JSTOR coverage expanded. (10/5/2004)

Recently Removed:

  • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA (Why?)

Current Awareness (Alerting) Services: There are current awareness services that are available to everyone in the NOAA West network. Ingenta (formerly CARL Uncover) allows you to pick titles from a list of ~26,500 journals. You then receive by e-mail a list of contents to the most recent issue of a journal when it comes out. Another option is Web of Science/Current Contents, in which you search among 6,200 scientific journals. As with Ingenta, you can sign up for e-mail notification based on journal titles or keyword/topical searches. Aquatic Science and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) also has an alert service. Any search you do in ASFA can be saved and used to generate a weekly list sent by e-mail of newly received articles retrieved by your search.

Bibliographic Databases: Another angle to consider is to periodically use bibliographic databases such as ASFA, PubMed or Web of Science. All of these allow you to simultaneously scan hundreds to thousands of journal titles. All allow you to limit searches to a range of dates.
