I've removed my original list of journals from this page, as we've now acquired so many online titles that it's impossible to keep it up to date. The e-Journals A-Z (for mental health staff) link at the top right of this page will give you access to literally thousands of journals!! Just type the title of the journal you want into the list, and you'll see which years we have online. If you can't find the title or volume you need, just send a request to our Document Delivery Service, and they'll supply you with a copy of the article you need free of charge.

The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor will help you evaluate a journal’s relative importance, especially when you compare it to others in the same field.
