Finding journal articles
Journal articles are a
great source for finding information about or an analysis of the law or
a particular legal issue. When writing assignments at university, you
are often required to refer to the work of others to support your own
arguments and quality journal articles written by experts in the field
are excellent resources you can refer to.
The best way to find journal
articles is to use one of the many online journal indexes - otherwise known as
databases. These allow you to search for interesting articles from many
different journals at once. Some will provide you with the full-text of articles
straight away - others will provide a citation, which you can then use to track
down the full-text from another source.
Key databases for corporate and business law
include:
|
AGIS Plus Text
The Attorney-General's Information
Service is a great place to find information on any legal issue
in Australia. It indexes over 120 Australian law journals, as
well as selected international journal, and many conference
papers, reports and book chapters. It provides the full-text of
a select number of resources. |
