Mechanical Engineering: Databases

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) publishes 23 journals covering the full range of topics in mechanical engineering, plus a number of conference proceedings. Full text is available for all of the journals; conference proceedings can be searched and browsed, but full text is not available. All of the ASME journals are scholarly, peer-reviewed publications oriented toward senior or higher level researchers.

Offers a diverse array of full-text and indexed content covering the full spectrum of the applied sciences and computing discipline. Features nearly 2,000 active indexed and abstracted journals

Engineering Village is a comprehensive bibliographic database covering all aspects of engineering, including some computer science. It indexes over 5,000 sources, including magazine and peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, and other documents. Most of the material indexed is more appropriate for senior or higher level students and researchers, but some material (magazine articles, etc.) may be useful for lower level students and researchers. Restricted to City College students, faculty, and staff.

EBSCOhost Databases is a portal to 50+ databases providing indexing and abstracting for tens of thousands of scholarly journals, magazines, and reference sources in all areas of study. Many of these databases include full text articles. The academic level of the publications covered varies depending on the database, but the brief descriptions on the opening page will help you determine whether a particular database is appropriate for you.

Including Emerald Engineering and Management. Essential resources in all areas of engineering and management.

ScienceDirect is a database of all the materials published by Elsevier and its affiliates, consisting of over 1800 journal and book titles. All subject areas are covered, including SOME of the journals in mechanical engineering. Over 1000 journals of the 1800 searchable titles are available as full text. Almost all of the journals are scholarly, peer-reviewed titles; therefore this database is most appropriate for more advanced students and researchers.
