You will notice that some of these databases are primarily for identifying the articles that you want. These will typically provide full citation details (that is, all of the information identifying the article – author, title of article, book, journal or conference proceedings details, etc.) and will often include an abstract, if available. You may – partly depending on your institution’s subscription arrangements – be able to access the full text. While abstracting and indexing databases can lead to a two-stage article access process, they mainly help you to identify relevant material rather than necessarily to access it. They often utilise sophisticated and flexible search parameters, giving you a lot of freedom in terms of how you search. Abstracting and indexing databases often draw on a wider pool of journals and may be less limited to particular publishers or organisations than full-text databases.
