Journals

Below are a list of major journals in the fields of Management and Economics. You can search for more journals using the library's Find a Journal feature.

How to Search in Library Databases

Use quotation marks around phrases to search for that exact wording

Examples: "social media" "higher education" "traumatic brain injury"

Switch out your keywords for synonyms or other words that mean close to the same thing

Example: If one keyword is "teenagers," try "adolescents"

Check your spelling; not every database is good at guessing what you mean by a misspelled word

Keep a list of all of the search words you use. Try the same words in different databases to find more information.
