Since these
databases are free for all their usability is somewhat lacking when compared with the EBSCO databases from Leatherby Libraries.
In Directory
of Open Access Journals for example
It is
sometimes hard to navigate through the wide range of full text scholarly
journals from many different countries. Even with the language option chosen many
different articles are from other countries and it is sometimes difficult to
navigate the wide array of articles.
Here is a listing of the top Open Access Journals that you can use for this week 6.
Important to note that some articles may be abstracts and not the full and complete text. A citation or article may lead outside the database to another source that requires purchase. Email me if you have problems navigating to find an article related to your topic.
Also you may have a broad range of articles at your disposal numbering in the thousands or very few that are not relevant to your topic. These databases are not as fluid as Leatherby Libraries and the databases like Academic Search Premier.
Make sure you choose a database closer to your topic. For week 6 both DOAJ -Directory of Open Access Journals & OAJSE - Open Access Search Engine, are your best bet to find articles across multiple subjects.
