Chemistry: Journals

Guide content supports the teaching and research goals of multiple departments on campus. Content represents a non-exhaustive selection of essential resources and tools for engaging a wide range of backgrounds and viewpoints. 

Finding Journals

There are a variety of ways to find journals at the University of Iowa Libraries. Here are some useful tools. For assistance, please ask a librarian.

InfoHawk+
Use InfoHawk+ to search for journals by title.
E-Journals A-Z
Search for a journal by title.
Interlibrary Loan
If the Library doesn't have the journal you're looking for, fill out the Interlibrary Loan form and we'll get it for you from another library.

Journal Citation Reports or JCR Web
A comprehensive resource for journal evaluation, Journal Citation Reports (JCR) uses citation references culled from over 7,600 scholarly and technical journals worldwide and includes all specialties in the areas of science, technology, and social sciences. Data reveals the highest impact journals, most frequently used journals, hottest journals, and largest journals. Search for a specific journal or view a group of journals by subject category, publisher, or location.

Chemistry E-Journals by Publisher

This list is a selection of frequently used electronic chemistry journals. It is not comprehensive. To search all available electronic journals, please use the E-Journals Search. If you would like to add a title to this list, please contact the Sciences Library at lib-sciences@uiowa.edu or (319) 335-3083.
