This page contains a partial list of representative major databases and search engines useful in an academic setting for finding and accessing articles in academic journals, or in repositories, archives, or other collections of scientific and other articles. As the distinction between a database and a search engines, is unclear for these complex document retrieval systems,

  • See bibliographic databases for information about databases giving bibliographic information about finding books and journal articles,

Note that "free" or "subscription" can refer both to the availability of the database or of the journal articles included. This has been indicated as precisely as possible in the lists below, which are current as of October, 2006.
