I got inspired by the reading of a short paper written by Jonathan Tennant, entitled “Web of Science and Scopus are not global databases of knowledge” (2020). There I heard about some databases for the first time, like the Garuda portal or African Journals Online. It got me wondering: what else is out there and I do not know because my point of view is limited to the languages I speak and the place I live in?
So, my idea here is that we can share academic databases that we are familiar with and perhaps are not very well known in other countries or continents. Where do you do your research?
Here is a list of interesting links that I have collected, without strict criteria, reflecting my point of view as a Brazilian researcher in the field of Psychology.
