Anthropology Plus
Anthropology Plus is the world’s most comprehensive, focused index of bibliographic materials from the late 19th century to today, covering the fields of anthropology, archaeology and interdisciplinary studies. Anthropology Plus unites two premier indexes: Harvard University’s Anthropological Literature database and the United Kingdom’s Anthropological Index (Royal Anthropological Institute).
SocINDEX
SocINDEX provides full text of journal articles, and indexing and informative abstracts for "core" coverage sociology and anthropology journals dating back to 1895, plus "priority" coverage journals and "selective" coverage journals. Extensive indexing for books, monographs, conference papers and other sources is included. SocINDEX with Full Text features subject headings from a sociological thesaurus designed by subject experts and expert lexicographers. Searchable cited references are also provided.
Sociological Abstracts
CSA Sociological Abstracts abstracts and indexes the international literature in sociology and related disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences. The database provides abstracts of journal articles and citations to book reviews drawn from over 1,800+ serials publications, and also provides abstracts of books, book chapters, dissertations and conference papers. Records published by Sociological Abstracts in print during the database's first 11 years, 1952-1962, have been added to the database as of November 2005, extending the depth of the backfile of this authoritative resource.
Other Suggestions
JSTOR
This is a high quality, interdisciplinary journal archive that focuses mainly on journals in the social sciences and humanities. It provides full-text access to hundreds of journals in anthropology, archaeology and area studies. Some recent issues are included, as well as many early issues. Along with journal articles, the database also includes access to books, images and primary sources. JSTOR is capable of searching full-text and offers term highlighting and cross-links to related resources.
ScienceDirect is a leading full-text scientific database offering journal articles and book chapters from more than 2,500 peer-reviewed journals and more than 11,000 books. There are currently more than 9.5 million articles/chapters, a content base that is growing at a rate of almost 0.5 million additions per year. It can be especially useful for locating research on physical anthropology, forensic anthropology and archaeology. The database also contains a substantial amount of research on cultural anthropology and can be a useful resource for topics related to culture along with the databases noted above.
