Search for Articles
To locate journal articles, on a particular subject, a good place to start is the National Knowledge & Library Hub
from here you can search and access thousands of articles as well as access links to search for journals A-Z or to search the various databases direct. You can also access Royal Marsden, Point of Care tools and other resources.
An NHS OpenAthens account is required to search these databases
Alternatively, you can also perform a simple search using Resource Search in Medline and CINAHL only.
Search for a particular journal title
If you are searching for a particular journal try using the A-Z journal searching page
This lists all of the journals that are available to you, locally and nationally, (as long as you have logged in with your NHS OpenAthens ID).
Additional databases
More databases are available, and you can find out more by visiting the Journal Article section of the Knowledge Navigator. The Knowledge Navigator also includes advice on locating specific types of evidence, such as systematic reviews, RCTs and qualitative research.
