ANTH 1301: Introduction to Anthropology

Perfect place to find sociological and some anthropological peer-reviewed journal articles. Heads up that you'll find some social work articles here too, so check the journal title before assuming it's sociology/anthropology.

Excellent place to start, but beware that despite the name, not everything found here is automatically "scholarly." Academic Search Complete is a huge, multi-discipline journal database which covers subjects from anthropology and sociology to computer science to literature. There's a bit of everything here.

While you won't necessarily find your topic covered here, if you do find it, you'll find a GOLDMINE of scholarly sources! Annual Reviews are article-length literature reviews of a particular topic, as if someone said, "OK, I'll write about everything that has been written about this topic in my field up until now." Remember to refine your search so that you are only using the Annual Review of the field you are studying, e.g., Anthropology, Sociology, Criminology, or Political Science.

Come to JSTOR to find a wide variety of full-text anthropological and sociological journal articles, book chapters, and sometimes even whole ebooks.

Like SocIndex above, you'll find a lot of journal articles here for sociology and anthropology, plus criminology, political science, psychology, and women & gender studies.

Scopus might look a little different from the EBSCO databases, but don't count it out! Scopus contains thousands of journal articles and covers the social sciences well. What's more is that you can do citation tracking here like in Google Scholar - find out who has cited the article since it was published AND click easily to everything in the article's bibliography too!
