Another Way to Locate Pediatric Journals

Note on Using Publication Finder:

You can find journals with the word "Pediatric" in the title by searching the Publication Finder for "pediatric." The results will be names of journals, not articles. When you find a journal you're interested in, look below the title and you will see links to databases where the journal is located and a date range. Pay attention to the date range--just because a journal is listed doesn't necessarily mean that we have full text of the entire journal. When you click on a database, it will take you to the journal's landing page. You can then search for specific topics within that journal.

Publication Finder
Use this tool to search for a specific journal or to search by journals using keywords. This tool is best suited for browsing through entire journals or discovering whether Kent State has access (and during what time period) for specific journals rather than searching for specific articles.
