Online Journals and Sources of Full-text Articles

ABI/Inform in ProQuest Direct (Carnegie Mellon users only)

ABI/Inform is the primary database for locating research articles, case studies and related material for the field of management. It features fulltext coverage of the Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, California Management Review, the Academy of Management Journal and Academy of Management Review, and more. It is strong in applied management in various fields, such as marketing, personnel, purchasing, finance and healthcare. Coverage also includes national and international business news weekly magazines (e.g., The Economist and Business Week) and trade journals.

Business & Industry in FirstSearch (Carnegie Mellon users only)

This database points to citations, often with information-laden abstracts, that provide information about companies and industries, trends, market share, sales, new products and demographics.

Business & Management Practices (BaMP) in FirstSearch is devoted to applied management and indexes more than 1000 journals (870 full text) that focus on business strategy and planning. Articles come from both academic and trade journal sources include research, case studies and industry news, as well as reports on practical applications, best practices and quality-related topics. The coverage is international, but the resources also include U.S. regional business news. A wide range of industries and technology areas are covered. BaMP can be used as a first-stop or as a supplement to other management research databases.
General Business File ASAP in InfoTrac (Carnegie Mellon users only)

General Business File is a competitor of ABI/Inform in that it provides citation and full text access to articles in business and economics. There is some overlap in journal titles between the two databases, but each one excels at coverage of selected industries and applied management topics. It is best to look in both databases when researching a topic. Also, if one database does not contain the full-text of the publication, the other often will have it.

LexisNexis Academic (Carnegie Mellon users only)

LexisNexis is an entirely full text database, and it is strongest in international and U.S. business news, and U.S. legal news. Its coverage of academic journals in management is less extensive than ABI/Inform and General Business File, but it provides yet one more source for locating full-text of publications (especially trade journals and news weeklies) that may not be available full-text in the other databases. The "Reference" section also contains a place to search for biographical information.

Social Sciences Citation Index in Web of Science (Carnegie Mellon users only)

SSCI contains citations for academic journals in management. It can be searched like any other database (by author, title, source, subject). An added function, links to citing sources, is a powerful tool for building a literature review, because it can identify key papers, studies and authors on a specific management theory, and the other articles that cite them.

Wall Street Journal in ProQuest Direct (Carnegie Mellon users only)

The full-text of the WSJ is available back to 1984 in ABI/Inform. The current day's issue is typically loaded and fully searchable by mid-morning. The Historical Wall Street Journal is also available, covering 1890-1986, in PDF format.

WilsonSelect in FirstSearch (Carnegie Mellon users only)

Wilson Select contains full text articles in several disciplines, including business published in international English language journals. Wilson Select is more limited than ABI/Inform, General Business File or LexisNexis. It is updated weekly, and may be most useful when trying to locate full text of less widely-read journals, which tend to get loaded somewhat more slowly in the other competing databases.
