Two Types of Article Indexes
Which article index to use depends upon your topic.

2. Subject Indexes

  • Is your topic in a particular subject area?

If so, use a subject index. Subject indexes specialize in a particular subject, and the articles indexed are generally from scholarly sources. Examples of subject indexes and the kinds of articles they identify are:

Business Source Premier
 Indexes articles in business-related subjects such as management, finance, and advertising
Historical Abstracts
 Indexes articles in world history
Com Abstracts
 Indexes the seventy core journals in the field of communications.
