EBSCO
You can perform simultaneous searches in a number (or all) of the Ebsco databases VIA provides access to. This might be relevant if:
- your topic is too narrow and literature on the topic is limited
- if your topic is interdisciplinary and you wish to find sources from various fields
- if you wish to examine which Ebsco databases contain the largest amount of articles about your topic
This last point is possible under “Refine Search”/”Database” when you have performed a search.
A database thesaurus is a list of controlled subject headings. You cannot apply the thesauri across the Ebsco databases as these belong to/concern the individual Ebsco databases.
Refrain from applying “Limit to” when searching across the databases (with the exception of year and language) as the individual databases do not index the posts the same way nor are they equally detailed. For example, some databases do not register ”peer reviewed” or “geography” and applying these limitations would therefore needlessly exclude many results.

Google Scholar
Google Scholar makes it possible to search for scientific literature beyond publishers and licenses. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scientific organizations. By using GS instead of Google you will get a much better result in your search when looking for scientific literature. You can activate library access links under the settings icon for direct access to full texts accessible through VIA.

Journal Citation Reports
Journal Citation Reports allows you to find journals with great impact measured by quotations received. It is possible to compare more than 26,600 journals based on different metrics, i.a. the known Journal Impact Factor (JIF), both a 2-year and 5-year JIF, but also other metrics, e.g. Journal Citation Indicator (JCI). JCI can be used to evaluate journals within a specific subject area. JCI measures the expected citations for a document of the same age (year), type and subject category, where the value 1 is normal and a value above 1 means that the document has received more citations than expected.
The database covers journals within Science, Social Sciences, and Arts & Humanities; however, it is not possible to have the Journal Impact Factor stated for journals within Arts & Humanities. You can search by title, ISSN, subject category and keyword. In addition, you can browse for journals and then use different filters, such as subject category, publisher, country/region, open access. It will soon be possible to browse by subject category, publisher and country.
