Articles published in scholarly journals serve as an important communication tool for many academic disciplines by providing in-depth analysis and discussion of specific research problems. The UW Libraries subscribes to numerous databases that allow access to the contents of thousands of these journals. Some databases contain full-text content for articles while others can link to full-text.
