There are several alternative databases that you can search to find journal articles. Each indexes slightly different journals, so you will get different results from searching each of these:
Database of peer-reviewed journal articles in science, technology, medicine, social sciences and arts and humanities with links to full-text where available.
Dimensions is a next generation linked research information system from Digital Science. This link takes you to the freely available version where you can register for a free account to search for research publications, citations, altmetric data and datasets derived from Figshare, Dryad, Zenodo, Pangaea etc. Depending on the needs of your literature review Dimensions may be a useful search source alongside other bibliographic databases provided by UEA Library.
Please note-UEA Library does not subscribe to Dimensions Plus, the full version of this database, (that contains data about grants, patents, clinical trials and policy documents).
