(CEBP)
PEDro is a free database of evidence relevant to physiotherapy. It contains citations of over 5,500 randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. Where possible, abstracts and links to full-text versions of the documents are also provided.
Physical Education Index
from CSA
Covers peer-reviewed journals and other publications in health & physical education.
MEDLINE with Full Text
from EBSCOhost
Created by the National Library of Medicine, Medline is the premiere medical database. Ebsco's version includes full text for nearly 1,200 of the 5,264 journals indexed in MEDLINE. Search results can be limited by type of research, reviews, and case reports when using the Advanced Search mode.
MEDLINE can also be searched in the NLM's PubMed database which includes "in-process" records for articles that have not yet been entered into MEDLINE. PubMed also covers a broader range of journals, but does not provide full text articles as Ebsco access does.
HealthSource Nursing/Academic Edition
from EBSCOhost
Covers nearly 850 journals from many medical disciplines and provides links to full text articles from nearly 600 scholarly journals.
To include alternative & holistic sources in your search, select AltHealth Watch from EBSCO's database menu. It covers 160 publications and a small number of peer-reviewed journals.
Web of Science
from ISI
In addition to covering over 22,000 journals, ISI's Web of Science covers conference proceedings, patents, and scholarly web content. Virtually all scientific fields of study are included. Web of Science contains the Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index and is designed to make it easy for you to determine the authors, institutions and journals most critical to a particular question or area of study by pursuing relevant citations. It also provides full text links to articles in over 10,000 journals.
