Find an exact journal on the Web
You may want to find a journal's website to:
- find details about its editorial board, submission guidelines, peer review process, and more
- browse article abstracts (free full text may not be available)
- get its homepage URL to cite proper APA when the article has no DOI.
To find a journal's website:
- Go to Google or another search engine.
- Enter the journal title in quote marks to search as a phrase. Add the word journal if it's not part of the official title.
For example, you might enter "personality and social psychology review" journal.
Note: Be sure to use the quotation marks. They search for that exact phrase.
- The journal you want should be near the top. If the journal name is generic, you may need to click a few results to find the one you need.
