Most important tools
Databases for in-depth research:
- Database-Informationsystem (DBIS): Collection Sociology (specialist databases and interdisciplinary electronic resources on the subject)
- SocIndex with Fulltext: English-language database with many full texts
- Sociological Abstracts: English-language, abstracts are provided directly, full texts only partially.
Advice: A nice feature of the database is the timeline at the bottom left, where you can not only limit the search to years, but also see at a glance when a topic was particularly prominent, i.e. when a lot was published on it.
Journal search: Use the journal search on swisscovery RZS to search directly for journals.
Studies & reports: Google Scholar and BASE
