These connections allow researchers to access an array of data across subjects and regions. Discover research data connected to articles published in journals, books, and conference proceedings. Link directly to data repositories for easy access to the deposited data sets.

This database gathers primary source material from the former British colonies and Commonwealth nations, along with some from former French and Portuguese territories, documenting decolonization, trade union, and political movements around the world. After the Second World War, decolonization movements around the world gathered pace, and from the small port colony of Aden to the vast Indian sub-continent, new borders were set, and new nations built.

The Derwent Innovations Index, available through the ISI Web of Science interface, is a database that merges the Derwent World Patents Index with the Derwent Patents Citation Index and contains the Derwent Chemistry Resource.

With coverage dating back to 1966, this resource gives users a comprehensive and international overview of inventions in three categories: chemical, electronic and electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. The chemistry resource allows searching and browsing of chemical structures. Searching is available across clearly written patent titles and abstracts that highlight the novelty, use, advantage, and claims of each invention, with ability to search precisely using international patent classification codes or unique Derwent Class Codes.

The Mail on Sunday was established in 1982 under the same ownership but editorially separate from the Daily Mail. Now, four decades of British and world history can be explored online through the full run of this generally conservative, sometimes sensationalist tabloid paper and its supplements. The Mail on Sunday presents detailed reporting and analysis of events in British history from the premiership of Margaret Thatcher to that of David Cameron, and of world events from the Falklands War to international terrorism in the early 21st century. Launched as the Sunday sister paper to the Daily Mail under the ownership of Lord Rothermere, the Mail on Sunday had three different editors in its first year – initially under Bernard Shrimsley, the paper was taken over by David English, then-editor of the Daily Mail, in order to boost circulation after a disappointing launch. Finally, Stewart Steven was appointed to the role, where he remained for a decade, significantly growing circulation. The digitized editions of this staple Sunday paper provide the researcher with reporting, analysis and commentary on nearly four decades of politics and foreign affairs, popular culture, financial and business news, entertainment and sport, and represent a key part of the British media.
