Philosophy

PhilPapers is the most comprehensive index for citations, but you will find the content of philosophy papers in JSTOR, Academic Search Complete, as well as publisher's repositories like Cambridge, SAGE, etc. Your Philosophy subject librarian recommends PhilPapers to search for citations and Primo or Google Scholar to find the full text.
