Choosing a Database

Since Urban & Regional Planning is quite interdisciplinary, you need to think about what discipline would cover your issue. Below are links for useful disciplinary databases. If you are unsure, try the following all-subjects databases and note what disciplinary journals the relevant articles come from.

  • Academic Search Complete (EBSCOhost)
    Full-text articles on all subjects from about 9000 journals, with indexing and abstracts for at least another 4000 periodicals (including magazines and newspapers) dating back as far as 1887. Also indexes books, reports, and conference proceedings.
  • JSTOR
    Full-text back files of over 2100 core scholarly journals in the arts, business, humanities, sciences, and social sciences, from the first issue up to 3-5 years ago.
  • Journal of Planning Literature
    While the Journal of Planning Literature (JPL) is a journal, it acts like a database of issues in Urban Planning. JPL indexes over 400 journals, and includes listings by subject.
