Specific databases

Most researchers begin their literature search in DTU Findit, covering content from different databases. In some cases, however, searching directly in a subject-specific database can lead to more precise and relevant results. These databases are designed for particular disciplines and often provide specialized indexing and search features that make it easier to find and work with relevant literature. 

DTU Library can help identify relevant databases for your course or research group and make demonstrate their subject-specific search tools. 

Other search tools
Via “Other search tools" , you can access the individual databases included in DTU Findit, including both multidisciplinary and subject-specific databases. Together, we identify the databases and features most relevant to your research area. We focus on the strengths of each database and help you get started with the most useful search functions.
