| Abstract: | Abstract This study examines the extent to which full-text business databases support scholarly research in finance. A list of articles cited by finance researchers was compared to the title lists of three full-text business databases: ABI/INFORM (ProQuest Information and Learning), Business Source Premier (EBSCO Information Services), and General BusinessFile (Gale Group). The most comprehensive coverage was found to be offered by ABI/INFORM, which provided indexing for 76.0% of the articles and full text for 35.9%. The articles shown as full text in the title lists were then searched in the databases to provide a measure of reliability of the title lists. |
