Research Consultations
Research consultations are available to every student by appointment.
Who wouldn't want a 60-90 minute appointment focused on your project? Email me using the link in my profile box --> to request a consult. Before your appointment, I will ask for a description of your project, due date, and what you hope to gain from the session. I will then tailor the session to your immediate research needs and offer follow-up help or appointments, as needed.
Research problems fixed by appointment. :)
Primary Databases
- Science Citation Index This link opens in a new windowThis database is the electronic version of the Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index and Arts and Humanities Citation Index. It includes indexing and abstracting from 8600 journals in all disciplines, covering 1975-present. The sources (footnotes) are included as part of each record, and can also be searched.
- ScitationPartial full text access to a variety of the American Institute of Physics journals
- ArXiv.orgOver 1m articles in physics, engineering, compter science and more. Not peer-reviewed at this site.
- INSPIREHigh energy particle physics archive. Some OA content, the remainder is by subscription or Interlibrary loan.
- Science & Technology CollectionThe Science & Technology Collection contains over 820 leading full text journals covering relevant aspects of the scientific and technical community. Topics include aeronautics, astrophysics, chemistry, computer technology, geology, aviation, physics, archaeology, and materials science. In addition to the full text, this database offers indexing and abstracts for more than 1,740 publications.
