The SIMBAD astronomical database provides basic data, cross-identifications, bibliography and measurements for astronomical objects outside the solar system.

If your research intersects with another discipline--such as math, chemistry, or the life sciences--these databases may be helpful.

MathSciNet
Provides citations to the world's mathematical literature including journal articles, conference proceedings, and books. Topics covered include all aspects of mathematics, statistics, and related areas. Cover 1940-present.
PubMed
Free database of biomedical and related life and behavioral sciences journal articles. Includes MEDLINE index and links to PubMed Central open access articles when available.

bioRxiv
A free online archive and distribution service for unpublished preprints in the life sciences. Authors are able to make their findings immediately available to the scientific community and receive feedback on draft manuscripts before they are submitted to journals.
ChemRxiv
A free submission, distribution, and archive service for unpublished preprints in chemistry and related areas. Gives researchers the opportunity to share early results ahead of formal peer review and publication.

Web of Science
Find multidisciplinary scholarly articles (sciences, social sciences, and humanities). Citation searching also allows search for highly cited articles and books.
JSTOR
Access to millions of journal articles, books, images, and primary sources in most academic disciplines. For journals, coverage is from first issue through three to five years ago.
Google Scholar
Search for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports in all disciplines. Linked to Tripod.

ResearchRabbit
After creating an account, ResearchRabbit allows you to import your Zotero references. It provides you with a variety of data analytics that can help identify other papers of interest, with alternative network-based visualizations for how they connect to your other papers. Useful for identifying additional relevant papers.
