Key databases


AES Electronic Library This is a full-text database from the AES (Audio Engineering Society - US) and has all the AES papers from the journal, conventions and conferences in PDF form from 1953 to the present. The AES is the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology.
AfricArXiv AfricArXiv is a community-led multidisciplinary digital archive for African research. It is working towards building an African-owned open scholarly repository and a knowledge commons of African scholarly works to catalyse the African Renaissance.
Dimensions Dimensions is the world’s largest linked-research database, covering articles, grants, patents, clinical trials, datasets, policy documents and technical reports. It also provides research metrics. There is a free version open to all, or a subscription version. You must register for an account with your Leeds email address to get full access, from a computer within the University’s IP range or through the virtual desktop. Once you are registered, you can access the database from off-campus. If you are a student, you can put “student” in the job title field. Guide to using Dimensions
IEEE Xplore Over 4 million records covering electrical engineering, computer science and electronics. A full-text database from the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology - UK, formerly IEE) and the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers - US). Contains PDFs of all their journals, standards and conference proceedings in PDF. It includes access to the full text of IEEE content published since 1988 with select content published since 1872.
J-Stage J-STAGE is an electronic journal platform for STEM information in Japan, developed and managed by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). J-STAGE supports Japanese societies and research organisations, and has published more than 3,000 journals, conference proceedings and other academic publications.
OSF Preprints OSF preprints indexes millions of preprints from preprint providers from around the world, including AfricaArXiv, and IndiaRxiv. It is maintained and developed by the not-for-profit Center for Open Science (COS). A preprint is a version of a research article prior to it going through the peer review process.
SciELO SciElo is a database that provides access to scientific research from Latin America and the Caribbean. Its aim is to promote and increase the visibility of research from Latin America.
Scopus Scopus is a large abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature from more than 18,500 journals and quality web sources, with smart tools to track, analyse and visualize research. Coverage starts from 1823. Guide to using Scopus
The Lens The Lens aggregates and provides access to over 225 million scholarly works, patent records and patent sequences from across the world. Its goal is to enable more people to make better decisions, informed by evidence.
Web of Science Search for journal articles using three databases; Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index and Arts and Humanities Citation Index. A current awareness service provides citation alerts for newly added journal articles. Each database is updated weekly. Guide to using Web of Science
