Finding Financial Times articles in Factiva
21/03/2024
If you are looking for Financial Times articles, look no further than Factiva! But be aware, there is a one-month embargo on content which means the most recent month is unavailable online. You can find the last month’s worth of the paper copy of the FT in the SOM Library.
You have 2 main ways of accessing FT articles in Factiva:
- searching for particular articles/subjects
- browsing
Want to search for a particular FT article, or FT articles on a particular subject?
To begin, navigate to Factiva from the SOM Library pages: SOM Library > Online business resources > International News > Factiva.
Once in Factiva, the first thing you need to do is limit your source to the Financial Times.
On the search screen, click on the arrow next to ‘All Sources’.
Next, click the plus (+) icon next to ‘Group: Financial Times’. Then select ‘Financial Times Print and Online’ by clicking on it once – the text will turn blue and you will see it added in yellow to your search.
You can see that my search results are all FT articles. To double-check the parameters of your search, look at the pale yellow header box.
To open an article, click on its title. You can read in the browser or use the options in the grey menu bar to download and save it.
You can download multiple articles at once by selecting them in the results list (using the checkboxes) and then clicking on the PDF icon. Always select an option including ‘Article’ if you want to download full-text.
Want to browse articles from the Financial Times?
Navigate to the SOM Library home page then pick ejournals from the menu on the right of the screen: SOM Library > eJournals
Start typing Financial Times into the search box and you will see the journal name in the dropdown list – click on it.
In the record for Financial Times, click on Factiva Academic.
This will take you directly to the Factiva webpage listing Financial Times article titles from the last 3 months, in order of most recent first. Remember, you won’t see articles from the last month because of the embargo.
You can change the date range by clicking on the ‘Modify search’ button in the pale yellow header box near the top of the page and then choosing from the dropdown list in the ‘Date’ field.
To open or download an article you can use the instructions at the end of the previous section.
