Databases contain articles in journals, papers in conference proceedings, newspapers, chapters in books, reports and reviews. Mobile versions of select databases are available.
Access the databases via Library Portal to take advantage of the seamless links to subscribed full-text of the articles. Most databases allow you to register to receive email alerts of new articles. To access the full-text from the article links listed in your email alerts, you will have to install the NUS proxy bookmarklet.
To facilitate writing up your assignment, report or paper -- citing reference as you write -- before you start your database search, do check out how to import (download) your citations to a bibliographic management software like EndNote or EndNote Web.
Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of Public Health Research, databases listed here are grouped by disciplines. You may also browse the complete list of all the databases subscribed by NUS either by title or subject.
