It also enables citations to a particular author's journal articles to be traced. The Arts and Humanities Citation Index enables you to find the publication details of articles published in a wide range of arts and humanities journals, including history. About 1,300 journals published worldwide are indexed. A further 5,700 science and social science journals are indexed selectively. Coverage begins in 1981 and updating is weekly.
History is well represented.
Major journals such as the English historical review, Past and present and the Journal of economic history are indexed, for example. You can search by author, title, keyword or journal. Details of citations of an article by others are included. This enables you to assess the significance of a particular article or of a particular author's work. Although neither abstracts, nor the full text of articles, are included you will find that the Library subscribes to a number of the journals indexed.
