Disability Studies Research Literature: It's (Mostly) Not Where We Think
Brunskill, Amelia
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v21 n1 p81-97 Jan 2021
There are currently no databases dedicated to indexing the research literature for disability studies. To identify which databases have more robust indexing of the literature of this field, the author compiled a list of relevant journals and searched for them in databases either frequently recommended in libraries' disability studies research guides or indicated by "Ulrich's" data to index a high number of the journals. Notable disconnects were found between frequently recommended databases and those with substantial indexing of disability studies journals. Challenges for research in this field were also encountered and documented, including inadequate indexing, particularly for open access journals.
