E-journals not in discovery service

This list contains trade journals important to the maritime sector. For many of them, WMU subscribes to the print version. These online titles require the library's login information. The passwords change frequently, please contact the library for log in credentials. 

These are also journals that tend not to be indexed in the aggregation services that the library uses. For research purposes, you would have to know the volume and issue of the article you want, although you can try searching in the journal's web site if it has a search feature available.

The purpose of Academic Journals is to inform, report, and make available original research and new findings. Academic journals are most often peer reviewed, meaning the articles within them have gone through a vetting process before being published. Academic journals are often devoted to a single discipline or subdiscipline. These types of journals are rarely freely available but must be accessed through a library or private subscription. It is sometimes possible to find pre-published versions of articles online. 

Examples: Journal of marine Science and TechnologyJournal of Maritime Law & Commerce, Journal of Navigation, Supply Chain Management.
