Determining what databases to search is an important part of the evidence synthesis process. FGCU librarians are well informed about the databases we have access to and which will be the right fit for your project. The sources will depend on your research question and the disciplines in which relevant research may be conducted. Below is some guidance for choosing databases in a number of research areas. Check the library's database portal for a full list of available sources across all disciplines.
Librarians can also help with designing complex search strategies using the specialized syntax of individual databases. Consult with a librarian if you have questions.
Note that these databases largely focus on the published, peer-reviewed literature. For guidance and resources for searching other types of information (i.e., gray literature), see the next tab in this guide.
