Counselling: Journals

Counselling

Why Use Journals

Journals are generally more current than books and more specific in their focus. Many academic journals are peer-reviewed, meaning they are evaluated by other experts in the same field before publication. This makes them a good quality source of academic information.

You can access thousands of journals through the Library via Library Search or via our eJournal A-Z list.  You can also look more systematically for journal literature by using our subject databases.

Useful Journal Databases

We often use these journal databases to support counselling research.

  • PsycInfo is the major database for psychology related research.
  • Scopus is a multidisciplinary database which indexes high impact journals. Good for research questions that cut across different disciplines.
  • CINAHL is the main nursing and allied health database.

Consult our complete list of databases  for Counselling too.

Google Scholar

Google iconGoogle Scholar is an academic search engine which indexes books, journal articles, and other scholarly materials. It is multidisciplinary, although with some US bias. It includes links to full-text documents including open access materials. To improve access, set Library Links to University of Warwick in the Settings. Google Scholar also includes citation information and allows you to find related literature.
