Sociology

Here you can find relevant information for Sociology students and staff.
  • Resources

    The UvA Library gives access to several pre-selected resources such as subject specific databases (see sample below) and e-journals.

    Search the databases (and Google Scholar) preferably using ‘Advanced search’. ‘Advanced search’ allows you to better translate your research question into a search string (a combination of search terms) suited to find the information you need with the resource you are using.

    • Communication & Mass Media Complete
      (Mostly) journal articles in the field of communication and (mass) media.
    • SocINDEX
      Journal articles, books, conference papers and dissertations in the field of sociology and related disciplines.
    • UvA CataloguePlus
      Books and journals articles on all topics, available online (off campus access possible) or for loan at the UvA Library.
    • Web of Science
      Peer reviewed publications (mostly journal articles) on all topics. Use ‘Basic search’ rather than ‘Advanced search’ here.
    • Worldwide Political Science Abstracts
      Journal articles, books, conference papers and dissertations in the field of political science, international relations, law and public administration & policy.
