Heriot-Watt University subscribes to over 170,000 academic journal titles, giving you access to millions of articles!
If you want to know whether or not we have access to a particular journal, you can use the A-Z journals list in Discovery:
Example:
Nilsson, K. L. (2007) 'Managing Complex Spatial Planning Processes', Planning Theory & Practice, 8(4), pp. 431-447.
We would search/browse for
["Planning Theory and Practice"] i.e. the journal title, NOT the article title.
