LibGuides: Finance Research Scholars' Toolbox: Journals

Journals

Subject area journals can be found via a catalog search using related terms (e.g., business) and filtering to find journals in the subjects of Finance and Finance Periodicals. If you know the title of the journal you are looking for, journal titles can be searched in the catalog here.

The top journals by discipline within finance were selected as they are peer-reviewed and have a high impact factor in the Web of Science's Journal Citation Reports. The journals are also ones in which Illinois Business Faculty have published articles.

(coverage varies) - contains the full text of several hundred journals in the areas of African American studies, anthropology, area studies, botany, general science, music, business, ecology, economics, education, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, political science, sociology, and statistics. Includes full text of complete journals from their inception up to a "moving wall." The moving wall is a fixed period of time ranging, in most cases, from 2 to 5 years; this wall defines the gap between the most recently published issue and the date of the most recent issues available in JSTOR. The Library will, in many cases, have a separate subscription for the more recent issues. For ease of searching, limit to business and economics journals by using the Advanced Search feature.
