About Political Science Journal Articles & Databases

This page connects you to journal articles in political science and related fields. Use Esearch if you already know the title of an article or want to search across many subjects at once. For more focused results, try the recommended subject databases, which provide in-depth coverage of political science, public policy, law, and related disciplines.

Which should I use?

  • Esearch – Best if you already know the title of an article, or want to search across many subjects at once.
  • Subject Databases – Best for in-depth research in political science, public policy, law, and related fields. These databases include tools and filters tailored to your subject.

Tip: If you’re starting a research paper in political science, begin with a subject database. Use Esearch when you need a quick search across all topics.
