E-Journals
The electronic journals page, only includes links to collections containing full text journals available electronically. The UTA Libraries subscribe to many other journals and magazines which are available in the Libraries. Consult the Online Catalog (PULSe) to determine if a journal is available in non-electronic format at UTA. Access to some journals may be restricted to UTA faculty, students, and staff.  

Below are just a few of the e-journals available by collection:
American Chemical Society
Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library
American Society of Mechanical Engineering
Institute of Physics (IOP)
Royal Society of Chemistry
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
Wiley InterScience

Database Spotlight
ISI Web of Science®
1975-present. Updated regularly. Abstracts and citations in ISI's Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index. Searches by subject term, author name, journal title, or author affiliation; also for articles that cite an author or work. Along with an article's abstract, its cited references (bibliography) are listed for further searching.
