One multidisciplinary database for research that crosses fields
The Academic Search Ultimate subscription is the broadest of EBSCO’s academic databases, carrying thousands of full-text, peer-reviewed journals across nearly every discipline. When a project refuses to stay inside one subject — as the best ones rarely do — it keeps the whole search in a single, citable place.
Inside this resource
Full text across the disciplines
Thousands of complete journals span the natural sciences, humanities, education, engineering and more, so a search returns whole peer-reviewed articles regardless of which field the answer happens to sit in.
Made for the Academic Search Ultimate subscription user who works across fields
Interdisciplinary questions are where single-subject databases fail; this one is designed for them, letting a health-and-policy or science-and-education query stay coherent in one interface.
Peer-reviewed throughout
The emphasis on peer-reviewed content means what you cite has been through scholarly review, which matters as much for an undergraduate essay as for a funded study.
Who this serves
- Interdisciplinary researchers — one peer-reviewed database that follows a topic wherever it leads.
- Students across faculties — a general-purpose academic library on a personal login.
- Educators — reliable full-text sources spanning the subjects a course touches.

For a general research login this is hard to beat — sciences and humanities equally well served.

My work sits between education and public health and this is the only database that keeps both in one search. Full text throughout.

Covered every subject my essays needed. Peer-reviewed filter is easy and reliable.
Dr. Rahul S. –
Great breadth. For very specialised medical work I still use MEDLINE, but for cross-field scoping this is first stop.

Wide and dependable. It is a jack-of-all-trades, so deep specialists may want a subject database too, but for interdisciplinary work it is exactly right.
