Medicine, medical biosciences and healthcare resources

A bibliographic database is used to find journal articles, but databases may also index other types of published literature like conference proceedings, theses, patents and book chapters too. Some of the databases below focus on medicine and biomedicine as a whole, others look at a particular area within medicine and healthcare while others include articles from journals spanning across STEM disciplines. There are also databases that focus on tracking citations and impact factors.

If you are looking for information beyond journal articles, such as clinical guidelines, reports, policy documents, clinical pathways or trial registers, see the grey literature resources section below. 

If you want to learn how to use specific databases or develop your searching skills see Tutorials, guides and skills for guides, video tutorials and e-learning modules.
