This post was in response to a question of the JISC Evidence Based Health
List on the JISC network. The poster wanted to know the core database for
searching the Web of Science list of journals specifically in the field of
Sports Medicine.
I provided this response.
The list of journals you mention and also the Scopus owned SciMogo journal
lists by subject do not correspond as far as I know to a specific
database. The closest in the sense of providing in depth sport science
journal coverage is Sport Discus which is owned by EbscoHost and is
available at a substantial number of colleges. However, Sport Discus also
provides in depth coverage of areas like sports management, sports
facilities, recreation and more.

But it is my considered opinion that only looking at coverage of a
specific group of journals with no very strong reason for doing so is not
an optimum method of searching. If one views the database list for my
research guides in which I show a list databases that have content in the
topic of the guide, a search of some core terms and phrases and the number
of search hits found for them illustrates the usefulness of that database
in that field. Here is the a link to the database list for my sports
management research guide. Unfortunately for this post I did not include
terminology related to sports medicine.

Also many of my posts on my Sport-Med list on JISC and elsewhere show links to
publically available databases on sport medicine related topics such as these
databases, Trip, Pubmed, PogoFrog, Google Scholar, Google Books, Temple Summon
Search.

To see links to searches posted on the Sport-Med lists and blogs, please try
these links. Keep in mind that a sizable group of databases have a significant
amount of information on or related to sport medicine topics.

Consider these facts as well. Google Scholar has a "cited by" link that
can lead to hundreds or even thousands of sources cited by links in result
numbers shown by the clicking the link although Google never shows more
than 1,000 hits per search on a specific Google database. Also at
institutions that subscribe to the Web of Science database for those
logged into those college networks, Google Scholar has a link to Web of
Science indexed articles citing the source above this link in the original
search results. All sources cited in the highly cited journals covered by
Web of Science are peer reviewed. Temple Summon Search can cover if
requested all publications and sources cited in their entire system and
one can limit to only peer reviewed sources in ones search results by
clicking that option on the left side bar.

By the way the Trip database only indexes evidence based sources. The benefits
of these public databases alone makes ignoring them and only using the core
databases in the field being searched, in my judgement and experience a very
serious mistake. For example, form the field of social work, an article
comparing Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar for citation analysis in
social work is indexed in Engineering Village, published in the Journal of
Academic Librarianship and NOT INDEXED by either Social Work Abstracts or
Social Services Abstracts which do not index that journal. How many faculty
members in social work would want to read such an article?
.
.
How many on this list would think with complete horror at the idea of using web
search Google for serious research topics?
