Introduction: Find peer-reviewed articles with migration focus

A key concept in conducting library research is searching subject databases that collect peer-reviewed articles in your discipline. You can find many sociology-related articles using general article search strategies, like BruKnow or Google Scholar. But if you want to target a specific topic area, find a more diverse range of sources and perspectives that may be difficult to spot in general-interest searches, or learn about the most up-to-date ideas in your field, you'll want to dive into the specialized world of subject databases.

Below, you will find some of the most useful sociology databases that will lead you to peer-reviewed articles on various aspects of international migration.
