Services for PhDs

All our journals can be accessed through our Journal Finder. 
If you cannot find a title, please contact us. Note that the Journal Finder is used to search by journal title, not article title.

If you cannot locate an article within our databases, we can send you the link to the article you need, if we have it in our collection. If not , we will try to source it from another library.

Use this form to request an article. 

INSEAD and some major publishers are part of an agreement supporting authors who wish to publish in open access journals. Under this agreement, the cost of publishing in eligible hybrid and fully gold journals is covered, waiving the article publishing charge (APC) for qualified authors. Read more on this page.

All our online databases are listed on this page, alphabetically or by subject. While most will work on and off campus with your INSEAD SSO, some of them require an additional login: FT.com or WRDS for instance. Click on the + sign to read a description and follow the registration steps.

The Research & Learning Hub’s collection of books can be searched using the R&L Hub Catalogue.

For books not in our collection, we welcome your suggestions. Use this form to request a book.

Please note that ebooks are given preference, when available, and can be accessed within 24 of requesting.
On average, print books arrive within two weeks of ordering, as long as they are not out of print. Otherwise, we may be able to get a copy through the Inter Library Loan service.

The Research Specialists can help you choose the best resources for your research, as well as sharing tips for efficient searching.

If you need help extracting data and information, feel free to discuss your research needs with the Research Specialists at the Doriot or the Tanoto Research & Learning Hub.

To request access to a dataset that we do not currently subscribe to, you would need the sponsorship of a faculty member to fill out a RDC proposal. There is some information about this on this page. 

You may also want to reach out to other PhD candidates who have used a specific dataset, please reach out to us so that we can check previous requests.
