Database coverage of WSJ.com
Many professors will refer to articles that they saw on the Wall Street Journal website, www.wsj.com.
ProQuest, the database vendor that provides access to articles from the Wall Street Journal, makes a distinction between articles published in the print format Eastern edition of the Wall Street Journal, and those published on wsj.com.
The database labeled 'Wall Street Journal 1984 - present,' contains articles that originally appeared in the print format Eastern edition. There is a large amount of duplication between content published in the print edition and content published on the website. However, the two do not share a one-to-one correspondence.
Users who wish to search both the Eastern edition and the wsj.com edition should use the periodical database ABI-Inform, which covers both editions.
