The University of Bolton has access to over 100 abstract and indexing databases and full-text databases. Most of them require you to login to OpenAthens first.
Databases are an excellent starting point for your research: they will help you find good quality, academic research on specific topics. Indexing databases cite author, title and publication details and will often provide an abstract so you can establish whether or not the research is suitable for your needs.
