What is a journal reference ?

This is a typical journal reference:

Knox, C. (2011)  Tackling racism in Northern Ireland: 'the race hate capital of Europe'.  Journal of Social Policy, 40(2), 387-413.

This article was written by C Knox (the author) and is about racism in Northern Ireland (the article title).  You can find it in the 2010 volume of the journal called 'Journal of Social Policy'.  The volume number is 40, and the article begins at page 387 in part 2. 

Why Google, when there's Scholar!

To make the best use of Google, we recommend the Scholar search. This limits results to higher quality resources.

Want to check if the Library can provide full text? Click Settings and Library links. Search for University of Ulster and save your preferences.  That way you will see links to full-text within our e-journal collection in your search results.

Top tip:  login to the Portal first - that will help with full text access off campus.
