FAQ: How can I find a list of journals that publish in my field?

The Shapiro Library has several tools you can use to identify a list of journals that publish in a given field of study.

Publication Finder

You can use the Publication Finder to find journals that the library currently subscribes to. You can find the Publication Finder on the “Find Resources” dropdown menu on the library home page under "Newspapers, Magazines, and Journal Articles (Publication Finder)". You can do a keyword search, browse journals by subject, or browse journals by database. There are a few limiter options available to refine your results by subject or publisher.

For more information about the Publication Finder, check out the short tutorial video at the end of this FAQ (or access the video on Shapiro Library's YouTube channel This link opens in a new window).
