General Databases containing Science and Engineering Topics

What is a Database?

A database is an organized collection of structured information, or data, typically stored electronically in a computer system. from Oracle The structured information in these databases contains information about articles, books, etc.

Each of these databases contain or have links to many full text articles. If a specific database doesn't cover your topic, try a multidisciplinary one. Multidisciplinary databases can be used to broadly explore topics too.

Multidisciplinary Databases

Contain information of interest to many disciplines.

Academic Search Complete This link opens in a new window
- This link opens in a new window
Mostly undergraduate student level information. Contains peer-reviewed journals and other types of documents.
Compendex This link opens in a new window
Comprehensive coverage of engineering and technical topics.
ProQuest Engineering Collection This link opens in a new window
- This link opens in a new window
Contains engineering related articles. Indexes down to figures and tables.
Web of Science: Core Collection This link opens in a new window
Strict guidelines on what publications they include, so publications are quality. However, not all quality publications are in here, so you will find less information. Be sure to use more than one database.

Google Scholar
crawls "more scholarly" websites then Google, but not everything is scholarly. More work to determine if something is scholarly sometimes. Note: Be sure to setup to display library links for George Mason University Libraries to get full text articles.
