Databases are search tools designed to help you explore scholarly literature such as journal articles and conference papers (written record of a presentation given at an academic or professional conference). Most databases allow you to sort, filter, save and export your results.

Journals are published on a regular basis to showcase new scientific research. They contain articles (usually referred to as 'papers'). There are different types of journal paper - for example, research papers present the findings of new research, while review papers summarise or analyse the findings of multiple research papers.
