10 Free Research and Journal Databases

10 Free Research and Journal Databases

  • 3-minute read
  • 6th April 2019

Finding good research can be tough, especially when so much of it is locked behind paywalls . But there are free resources out there if you know where to look. So to help out, we’ve compiled a list of ten free academic search engines and databases that you should check out.

1. Google Scholar

Even if you’ve not used Google Scholar before, you’ll know Google. And, thus, you can probably guess that Google Scholar is a search engine dedicated to academic work. Not everything listed on Google Scholar will be freely available in full. But it is a good place to start if you’re looking for a specific paper, and many papers can be downloaded for free.

CORE is an open research aggregator. This means it works as a search engine for open access research published by organizations from around the world, all of which is available for free. It is also the world’s largest open access aggregator , so it is a very useful resource for researchers!

3. Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE)

Another dedicated academic search engine, BASE offers access to more than 140 million documents from more than 6,000 sources. Around 60% of these documents are open access, and you can filter results to see only research that is available for free online.

4. Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is a database that lists around 12,000 open access journals covering all areas of science, technology, medicine, social science, and the humanities.

PubMed is a search engine maintained by the NCBI, part of the United States National Library of Medicine. It provides access to more than 29 million citations of biomedical research from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. The NCBI runs a similar search engine for research in the chemical sciences called PubChem , too, which is also free to use.

6. E-Theses Online Service (EThOS)

Run by the British Library, EThOS is a database of over 500,000 doctoral theses. More than half of these are available for free, either directly via EThOS or via a link to a university website.

7. Social Science Research Network (SSRN)

SSRN is a database for research from the social sciences and humanities, including 846,589 research papers from 426,107 researchers across 30 disciplines. Most of these are available for free, although you may need to sign up as a member (also free) to access some services.

8. WorldWideScience

WorldWideScience is a global academic search engine, providing access to national and international scientific databases from across the globe. One interesting feature is that it offers automatic translation, so users can have search results translated into their preferred language.

WorldWideScience logo.

9. Semantic Scholar

Semantic Scholar is an “intelligent” academic search engine. It uses machine learning to prioritize the most important research, which can make it easier to find relevant literature. Or, in Semantic Scholar’s own words, it uses influential citations, images, and key phrases to “cut through the clutter.”

10. Public Library of Science (PLOS)

PLOS is an open-access research organization that publishes several journals. But as well as publishing its own research, PLOS is a dedicated advocate for open-access learning. So if you appreciate the search engines and databases we’ve listed here, check out the rest of the PLOS site to find out more about their campaign to enable access to knowledge.

Business in Contemporary World

Business in contemporary world is one of increasing diversity. Undertaking commerce even by an individual can mean working globally through a welter of new media with opportunities of all sorts rapidly appearing. The boundaries, scope, content, structures, and processes of a business activity can morph into completely different ones in the course of a project. Contemporary businesses and certainly future businesses find it incumbent upon them to fit with the requirements of environmental and economic sustainability of the others who inhabit our world. Of course the practices, technologies, and tools of business are currently utilized by professional managers in government, education, arts organizations, not-for-profit organizations, political organizations, social service organizations, etc. That is, rather than having an opera company run by a former singer who charms its patrons, what is expected is a former singer who is a professional manager who is adept at grappling with the issues, requirements, and expectations associated with responsible business.

Globalization is a by-word of the current business epoch. Today it is normal for a business in a developed country to employ clerks, technicians, salespeople, customer relations agents, and increasingly professionals such as managers, engineers, and researchers in emerging market nations such as India, China, and Vietnam. Increasingly, corporate teams work virtually with team members distributed around the world. New technologies provide interfaces that are coming to replicate and in some ways even improve on the kind of exchanges that traditionally were only available in face-to-face situations.

In the post-Enron, post-Bhopal, post–Three Mile Island, post–Exxon Valdez, and post-9/11 environment, business and society issues and topics refract off each other with new meanings. For example, what in the past might have just been a climate of corruption, bribery, ineptness, and lack of accountability, now in this or that far-flung place today might have global implications. So, the editor of this volume was engaged by Columbia University to teach cuttingedge human resource management (HRM) topics in a Russian oil company in Nizhny Vartovsk, Siberia, where just as in U.S. oil companies, the sharing of cutting-edge management technologies and approaches was proceeding at a rapid rate. Notions such as whistle-blowing, managing stakeholders, alleviating poverty through business strategy, and microfinance are increasingly important for those interested in understanding business to know.

Management information systems are a new universe of technologies, and the terms and topics that encompass them, from just 15 years ago. New applications and functions have proliferated, including e-commerce, the blogosphere, social networking (including Facebook and LinkedIn), digital dashboards, e-learning, executive support systems, internet, intranets, extranets, identity theft, moblogs, privacy, spam, transaction processing systems, virtualization, virtual companies, VoIP, business process reengineering, data warehouses, and customer relationship management (CRM).

Operations management is a field of business that is undergoing many structural and technological changes. The quality management revolution starting in Japan and developing in the mid-80s in the United States and Europe has been overtaken by new issues of global supply chain procurement and distribution. New approaches to designing services take on more import in a service economy. Service blueprinting, front office and back office activities, and servicescapes are among the new by-words. Location analysis, hybrid layout design, and process product and fixed position layouts are increasingly structured in their deployment. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is increasingly sophisticated with new connectivity and integration issues.

Management strategy has been redefined in the United States by agency theory, the resource-based view of the firm, and such important accounting legislation as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. New types of financial instruments and their deployment through a wider than traditional spectrum of organizational types resulted from deregulation. The looseness and oversight of this new environment resulted in a looseness in financial dealings. Financial institutions worldwide have been shaken by the great mortgage crisis of 2008. This followed the bailing out of Bear, Stearns, & Co. Inc., a leading global investment banking and securities trading firm, by the American federal government. The world economy is increasingly integrated. The European Union (EU) and NAFTA are just two of many such international structures that foster freer trade. The high price of oil in 2008 reflects the ongoing power of OPEC.

Marketing is no longer just a department in a company; rather it entails the collaboration of many departments, vendors, and even customers working together to market products and services. Today we find companies such as Dunkin’ Donuts focusing on the quick provision of inexpensive cups of coffee to go and at the same time other companies such as Starbucks going beyond that to market an entire experience, lifestyle, variety of flavors, and even music to their target market.

How to Choose a Business Research Paper Topic

Choosing a suitable business research paper topic can be a challenging task, especially given the broad scope of the field. However, selecting a good topic is essential to the success of your research paper. In this section, we will provide some guidance to help you choose a suitable topic for your business research paper.

Consider Your Interests and Passions

The first step in choosing a business research paper topic is to consider your interests and passions. Business is a multifaceted field that covers a wide range of subfields, from finance to marketing to management. Therefore, it is essential to choose a topic that you are passionate about and interested in. This will make the research process more enjoyable and meaningful for you.

To identify your area of interest, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What subfield of business studies interests me the most?
  • What specific topics or issues within that subfield do I find most compelling?

Once you have identified your general area of interest, it’s time to narrow down your topic.

Narrow Down Your Topic

To narrow down your business research paper topic, consider the specific aspects of the topic that you would like to explore and the research questions that you want to answer. For example, if you are interested in marketing, you might narrow your topic down to a specific product or service, a particular target market, or a specific aspect of the marketing mix.

To help you narrow down your topic, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What specific aspect of the topic interests me the most?
  • What specific research question do I want to answer?
  • How can I make my research question more specific and focused?
  • What specific population or group do I want to study?

By answering these questions, you can identify a specific topic that is both interesting and feasible.

Consider the Relevance and Significance of the Topic

When choosing a business research paper topic, it is essential to consider the relevance and significance of the topic. You should choose a topic that is relevant to current business issues and trends and has the potential to contribute to the field of business studies.

To assess the relevance and significance of your topic, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What is the current state of research on this topic?
  • What are the potential implications of my research for businesses or the industry?
  • How can my research contribute to the field of business studies?

By choosing a topic that is relevant and significant, you can ensure that your research paper has a meaningful impact.

Consult with Your Instructor or Advisor

Your instructor or advisor can offer valuable guidance in selecting a business research paper topic. They may be able to suggest potential topics or point you in the direction of useful resources. Moreover, your instructor or advisor can also help you identify the appropriate subfield of business studies that aligns with your research interests.

When consulting with your instructor or advisor, be sure to ask about any specific guidelines or requirements for the research paper. Some instructors may have specific expectations for the research question or methodology, so it is essential to clarify these requirements before finalizing your topic.

Consider Available Resources

Before finalizing your business research paper topic, it is important to consider the resources that are available to you. This includes access to relevant literature, data sources, and software or tools necessary for analysis.

In addition, consider the availability of relevant scholarly literature and secondary sources. Make sure that you have access to the appropriate journals, books, and articles that you will need to support your research. If you find that the resources you need are limited, consider narrowing down your topic or revising your research question.

Look for Research Gaps

Finally, it is important to look for research gaps in the literature when choosing your business research paper topic. Identifying gaps in the literature can help you choose a research question that is original and contributes to the field of business studies.

To identify research gaps, review the literature on your chosen topic and ask yourself the following questions:

  • What research questions have been answered on this topic?
  • What questions have not been answered or have not been fully explored?
  • What aspects of the topic have not been addressed in the literature?
  • What are the current controversies or debates in the literature on this topic?

By identifying research gaps, you can develop a research question that is original and adds value to the field of business studies.

Choosing a business research paper topic can be challenging, but it is an essential step in the research process. By considering your interests, consulting with your instructor or advisor, evaluating available resources, and identifying research gaps, you can select a suitable topic that is both interesting and feasible. Remember, a good topic is the foundation of a successful research paper. In the next section, we will provide guidance on how to write a business research paper, including tips on conducting research, analyzing data, and presenting your findings.

How to Write a Business Research Paper

Once you have chosen a suitable topic for your business research paper, it is time to start writing. In this section, we will provide guidance on how to structure your research paper, conduct research, analyze data, and present your findings.

Conducting Research

Before beginning your research paper, it is important to conduct a thorough review of the literature. This will help you identify gaps in the research and develop a research question that contributes to the field of business studies.

When conducting research, make sure to use reliable and relevant sources, such as academic journals, books, and credible online sources. Keep detailed notes and maintain careful records of all research activities to help organize your data and ensure the accuracy of your findings.

Analyzing Data

Once you have collected your data, it is time to analyze it. This may involve using statistical software, qualitative analysis software, or other tools to examine patterns and relationships in the data.

When analyzing your data, be sure to consider the limitations and potential biases of your methods. For example, if you collected data through surveys, consider the potential biases introduced by self-reporting.

Presenting Findings

When presenting your findings, it is important to be clear and concise. Use visual aids such as tables, graphs, and charts to illustrate your findings and make them more accessible to readers.

Consider the appropriate format for presenting your data. For example, if you have collected qualitative data, consider using narrative descriptions or quotes to convey your findings.

Citation and Referencing

Finally, it is essential to properly cite and reference all sources used in your research paper. This includes citing relevant literature and acknowledging the contributions of collaborators or participants in your study.

Make sure to follow the appropriate citation style for business research papers, such as APA or Harvard style. This will ensure that your research paper meets the standards of academic integrity and professionalism.

Additional Tips

Here are some additional tips to keep in mind when writing your business research paper:

  • Keep your writing clear and concise. Use simple language and avoid jargon or technical terms that may be difficult for readers to understand.
  • Use headings and subheadings to organize your paper and make it easier to read.
  • Revise and edit your paper thoroughly to ensure that it is error-free and well-structured.
  • Seek feedback from peers, instructors, or mentors to improve the quality of your research paper.

Writing a business research paper requires careful planning and attention to detail.

Can AI and Machine Learning Help Park Rangers Prevent Poaching?

Globally there are too few park rangers to prevent the illegal trade of wildlife across borders, or poaching. In response, Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) was created by a coalition of conservation organizations to take historical data and create geospatial mapping tools that enable more efficient deployment of rangers. SMART had demonstrated significant improvements in patrol coverage, with some observed reductions in poaching. Then a new predictive analytic tool, the Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security (PAWS), was created to use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to try to predict where poachers would be likely to strike. Jonathan Palmer, Executive Director of Conservation Technology for the Wildlife Conservation Society, already had a good data analytics tool to help park rangers manage their patrols. Would adding an AI- and ML-based tool improve outcomes or introduce new problems? Harvard Business School senior lecturer Brian Trelstad discusses the importance of focusing on the use case when determining the value of adding a complex technology solution in his case, “SMART: AI and Machine Learning for Wildlife Conservation.”

How Will Sheikh Hasina’s Ouster Impact India-Bangladesh Trade Ties?

Siddharth Zarabi

  • Aug 08, 2024,
  • Updated Aug 08, 2024, 11:24 AM IST

India’s finance ministry is closely monitoring the unfolding crisis in Bangladesh, concerned about its potential impact on trade and economic stability between the two nations. Sheikh Hasina's tenure saw a significant boost in trade relations between India and Bangladesh, with a notable trade surplus in India's favour. Her exit could disrupt these gains, affecting the movement of goods and people and stalling a potential free trade agreement (FTA) between the two nations, say experts. Bangladesh has been a crucial ally to India since Prime Minister Hasina came to power in 2009, helping to eliminate anti-India terrorist groups and fostering strong economic, social, and cultural ties. Their bilateral trade reached $13 billion in the financial year 2023-24, with Bangladesh being the top destination for India's cotton exports and a significant importer of petroleum products and cereals. India imports ready-made garments from Bangladesh, contributing $391 million to their trade. The FTA discussions initiated in October 2023 aimed to reduce or eliminate customs duties on goods traded between the two countries, potentially boosting Bangladesh’s exports to India by up to 297% and India’s exports by 172%, as estimated by a World Bank working paper. However, the future of these discussions remains uncertain with the interim Bangladeshi government. Infrastructure and connectivity projects have been pivotal in strengthening Indo-Bangladesh ties. India has extended $8 billion in credit since 2016 for the development of road, rail, shipping, and port infrastructure in Bangladesh. The Akhaura-Agartala cross-border rail link and the Khulna-Mongla Port rail line, inaugurated in November 2023, are expected to enhance trade and people-to-people exchanges. A disruption in these ties could restrict India’s access to the Northeast, currently connected through narrow land corridors. The existing bus routes and agreements for using Chittagong and Mongla ports also face potential risks. India had a $9.2 billion trade surplus with Bangladesh in FY24, with top exports including cotton, coffee, tea, vegetables, vehicles, and electrical machinery. The ongoing unrest has already caused issues such as internet disruptions affecting banking transactions and difficulties in issuing letters of credit, causing concern among exporters, particularly those in Kolkata. With a significant portion of exports to Bangladesh falling outside the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) agreement and most imports from Bangladesh benefiting from zero tariffs, the current unrest poses a substantial risk to the trade dynamics between the two countries. The next few days will be critical in determining the extent of the impact on trade and economic stability in the region.
