Library subscribed journals

Many scholarly journals in Philosophy are now being published as electronic journals; the Library has converted most of its existing paper copy subscriptions to the online versions. This means that University of Adelaide staff and students can search for and read individual articles online and can access them at any time on the web.
All electronic journals are listed in the Library Catalogue - find them by searching under their title using the Journal or Newspaper title option.

For example, if you search the Library Catalogue for the journal Review of metaphysics you'll see:

If you want to see what online philosophy journals we have subscribed to, there's a listing in the subject area Philosophy & Religion is available from our University of Adelaide Library E-Journals A-Z web page.

Project Muse

The Library has purchased a licence to an excellent range of electronic journals in the humanities area called Project Muse. This service provides online access to the full text of over 400 scholarly journals from the Johns Hopkins University Press as well as from a consortium of scholarly publishers including Carnegie Mellon University Press, Duke University Press, Indiana University Press, MIT Press, Oxford University Press, Pennsylvania State University Press, University of Hawaii Press, University of Texas Press, and the University of Wisconsin Press.
I suggest you have a look at the philosophy titles that are available.

Besides being able to read issues online, Project Muse also lets you search for particular terms, either by journal title(s) or by subject.
If you want to keep up to date with new journals as they are published use the Project Muse Journal alerts service. You will receive an email each week when new issues of the titles or subjects you selected are available. If you prefer, you can subscribe to a Project Muse RSS feed. Great service!

*Please note that you must be a currently enrolled student or staff member of the University of Adelaide to get remote access to the online journals to which we subscribe.

 

Free web-based journals

Some individual philosophy journals have websites and a few online journals have no print counterpart.

TPM Online
The Philosophers' Magazine on the internet. A lively and entertaining forum. You can read a selection of articles, but the main archive and back issues are available only if you subscribe.

Philosophers' Imprint
Philosophers' Imprint is a refereed series of original papers in philosophy, edited by Stephen Darwall and J. David Velleman, with the advice of an international Board of Editors; and published on the World Wide Web by the University of Michigan Digital Library. The Imprint was founded in the spirit of the Open Access movement, whose mission is to promote a future in which funds currently spent on journal subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for free, via the Internet.
Although Philosophers' Imprint is edited by analytically trained philosophers, it is not restricted to any particular field or school of philosophy. Its target audience consists primarily of academic philosophers and philosophy students, but it also aims to attract non-academic readers to philosophy by making excellent philosophical scholarship available without license or subscription.

Sorites
Sorites: digital journal of analytical philosophy, dedicated to the promotion of analytical standards of rigour and clarity, favours no particular school or tendency within analytical philosophy. Its only allegiance is to a [fuzzy] set of methodological standards of rigour, clarity and careful argumentation, which characterize any rational way of doing philosophy. Submission of manuscripts written in accordance with such guidelines is welcome, in all fields of pure and applied philosophy.
All issues from Number 1, April 1995, are available from the website.

Lyceum
Lyceum is a journal of philosophy concentrating in traditional problems in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and the history of philosophy. The journal publishes professional articles accessible to both professional and undergraduate audiences, as well as a small number of articles by undergraduates.
Articles from vol. 1, number 1 (Spring 1989) are freely available for downloading.

CLE e-Prints
CLE e-Prints publishes pre-prints of academic articles in logic, epistemology and the history of science, of which at least one of the authors is an official member or a visiting researcher of CLE (Centre for Logic, Epistemology and the History of Science of the University of Campinas, Brazil) or is attached to some academic group of CLE . The articles are freely downloadable.
