MU Libraries is pleased to provide access to Social Explorer.
Social Explorer provides current and historical U.S. social data indicators from public and proprietary sources across demography, economy, health, politics, education, religion, crime, and more, at multiple geographic levels. All data are curated, documented, organized, and processed for ease of use.
If you have questions about the database or how to use it, contact your librarian at ask@missouri.libanswers.com.
An important step in the publishing cycle is choosing the best journal for your research. There are so many journals out there, but which ones are the best? Which ones are real or predatory? Which ones have a high impact factor?
These questions can be easily answered using the Health Sciences Library’s journal evaluation tool.
This tool will save you time by pulling impact factors, CiteScore, and other quality indicators for the journals you need, all in one place. A new addition to the tool is whether a journal has been hijacked or if any publishing fees are reduced or waived for MU affiliates.
All you need to search is the journal title or the ISSN.
Email us at at asklibrary@health.missouri.edu if you need assistance.

We are happy to report that there’s movement in the Health Sciences Library Renovation!
Construction officially started in August 2023, but there hasn’t been much to show. The focus was getting out furniture and preparing the space. And now, we have some photos!
While the physical building will be closed, we are still here for you. Although our services and employees will be operating in a virtual environment during the renovation, we are only a click away.
Have questions? Check out the FAQ section of our library renovation page.
