Browse Journal Names
When you click the Browse Journals by Name button on the Browse Journals display, you are given the chance to browse all journals available in the Journals@Ovid database. A screen similar to the following appears, with the journal names presented alphabetically.
If you are linking to Browse Journal Names from Browsing Subject Categories, you may see a journal list for a particular category only, such as Clinical Medicine. To view all journals, click on the Browse All Journals link centered above the list of names.
For each journal, links are available for:
- a list of all available issues for that journal (Issue List)
- detailed information about the journal ( About This Journal)
- additional subject categories under which a journal is indexed (Subject Categories)
Alphabetical links are available to make it easy to jump ahead or backwards through the journal name. The links appear above the journal list. Click on the appropriate letter to jump to the corresponding section in the journal list. The "Next" and "Previous" buttons also allow you to navigate from page to page. (The maximum number of records displayed on each page is 25.)
Your institution subscribes to the full text content of one or more of the journals listed. If you see the icon "Full Text Available," on the right-hand side, this particular journal has full text content accessible by you. Full text documents appear as they would appear in the actual journal, including article text, references, and (depending on the site) graphics. To find the full text articles, click on the journal's Issue List link.
Full text content may not be available for every journal. However, all other information in the Journals@Ovid database, including bibliographic citations, is always available to you. Each journal's International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) and number of issues, on the right-hand side, are always available for each journal.
The journal list usually displays on multiple pages. You can move backward and forward through the journal list, from page to page, by clicking on the "Next" and "Previous" buttons located at the top of the display next to the Main Search Page button.
