Journals in the Field

Journals at Case are often included in a database with controlled language for efficient, advanced researching.  Search a journal title in the EJournals Portal, for online access–it will display various options for your use, including direct online subscriptions from databases or publishers, or both. 

Examples: Innovation Journal, Creativity Research Journal, Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, International Journal of Innovation Management, Design Issues, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Research, and others that are online in the database Business Source Complete (BSC), listed in the Management folder of the Research Databases list, or in the Subject folder for Design & Innovation. Using BSC for your journal article search & discovery gives you added features to save, export, and use controlled language hyperlinks to find similar articles.

The Academy of Management Journal is easily located via the EJournals portal in Business Source Complete (BSC) database. BSC also includes Academy of Management Review, Corporate Governance: an international review,  Creativity and Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Journal of the Association for Information Systems, 

Other examples: Management Science,  and Organization Science will be found in INFORMS PubsOnline database – and many will be found in several databases plus the JSTOR Arts & Sciences IV archival collection database.
