Journal Finder is a list of journal titles, not a research database. If you don't have a citation, or don't know in which journals the articles you need may be located, you need to first search your topic in a research database.
When you identify the articles you want, some research databases may offer convenient links to the full text of the article. If the research database does not offer a direct link to the text of the article, you can consult the Journal Finder to see where you can find online access or print copies.
