These databases are great for physics topics. If you are having trouble finding what you need in the databases on this guide, please contact Debbie Morrow for suggestions and assistance.
- ADS (Astrophysics Data System) This link opens in a new windowThis database, funded by NASA, searches for information about astronomy, astrophysics, instrumentation, physics, and geophysics. Users can search for articles, books, conference proceedings and pre-prints (the author's version of an article before it goes through peer-review).
- arXivOpen access (meaning free to the public) to scholarly information in physics. Also includes the following subjects: mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance and statistics.
- MathSciNet This link opens in a new windowMathSciNet is a good source for scholarly articles and reviews related to mathematics. This database does contain information for several physics journals as well.
- INSPIRE: High Energy Physics contentA trusted community hub that helps researchers to share and find accurate scholarly information in high energy physics. Content includes scholarly literature and conference publications.
- PROLA (Physical Review Online Archive)PROLA is the American Physical Society's (APS) online database for scholarly journals. It contains journal articles published from 1893–present.
