Databases

Databases are a good a place to begin research. They may contain articles in journals, papers in conference proceedings, newspapers, chapters in books, reports and reviews.

Business Source Premier
Librarian's take: Business Source Premier (BSP) is sometimes known as EBSCOHost. Its strength is in its academic content. Some key journals include Human Relations, Harvard Business Review, Management Science and Administrative Science Quarterly. Besides academic journals, BSP also has trade publications and magazines such as Academy of Management Review, Personnel Psychology and Human Resource Development Quarterly. BSP tends to focus on the US and very little on Singapore. Asian coverage is fairly well covered.

ABI/INFORM
Librarian's take: This is a comprehensive full text database of business, management & public administration international journal articles. It includes ABI/Inform Global, ProQuest Asian Business & Reference and Hoover's Company Records. Some key journals and newspapers include MIT Sloan Management Review, Fortune, Psychology Today, Financial Times and Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition).

PsycInfo
Librarian's take:
This is a database produced by the American Psychological Association. It provides abstracts and bibliographic citations to articles in the field of psychology. Records include over 1,400 journals and some dissertations, books and book chapters. It includes empirical studies, case studies, surveys, bibliographies, literature reviews, discussion articles, and conference reports. Some key journals include Emotion, Journal of Applied Psychology, Professional Psychology and Research & Practice.

Guides for searching PsycINFO and PsycARTICLES available at OvidSP Online Help.

Factiva
Librarian's take: This is a full text database of newspaper articles. It is a great place to search Singapore articles from the Straits Times, Business Times, The Edge, The New Paper, Asian Banker, TODAY and Channel NewsAsia.

LexisNexis Academic
Librarian's take: This is another full text database of newspaper articles - an alternative to Factiva. It includes newspapers such as Straits Times and Business Times and other international newspapers.
