Introduction

Welcome to the Physics research guide at the Thompson Library. This guide will provide mostly online resources with a few print resources related to Physics. The online resources are available off-campus for currently enrolled students and current employees of the University of Michigan-Flint.

Most Physics research starts with journal articles. Take a look at Frequently Used Databases below to identify articles on your topic.

Frequently Used Databases

Compendex
Compendex is an engineering resource that dates back to 1884 covering all aspects of engineering. This resource has more citations about the engineering literature than the actual items themselves.
IEEE Xplore
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers provides access to their publications for working electrical engineers. The publications include journal articles, conference proceedings and standards dating back to 1988.
INSPEC
INSPEC is a combination of several print indexes created by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. They cover the subject areas of computers, electronics, mechanical and electrical engineering, physics and control theory. There are over 14,000,000 records in this database that go back to 1969.

1896-present. Hosted on Engineering Village platform. Covers physics, electrical & electronic engineering, communications, computer science, control engineering, information technology, manufacturing & mechanical engineering, operations research, material science, oceanography, engineering mathematics, nuclear engineering, environmental science, geophysics, nanotechnology, biomedical technology, and biophysics.
