A significant part of CODESRIA’s work is to ensure that our community of scholars, young academics, and those conducting research within the social science and humanities have a one-stop location that serves as a guide on where to access information.
Our resources page is designed to offer a database of information by providing access to the CODESRIA Online Library Catalogue; a list of Open Access databases and search engines; and CODESRIA’s Documentary and Thematic Products drawn from activities under the Council’s Scientific Programmes.
The Council’s library has a bibliographic database with a variety of documents (books, reports, theses and dissertations, periodical articles, conference papers, etc) in the social sciences and humanities. The database is available at the Koha Liblime platform. You do not need to register to the platform, simply type the query directly into the search field provided.
1.1 JSTOR (Journal Storage) Data Base
JSTOR provides access to a bibliographic database on works in the social sciences and humanities. It contains complete bibliographic descriptions of the publications with the possibility of accessing the full text(s). Searches from JSTOR can be done from CODESRIA’s computers inside the Library.
It is available through the following link : https://www.jstor.org/
These are specialised databases on the social sciences and humanities useful for scientific research. They contain full-text bibliographic references that can be downloaded freely on the internet. Most of the databases are in English. However, those that hold resources in other languages are also listed.
