PsycArticles & PsycINFO

The links below are two psychology "Indexes." An index is a database that provides searchable bibliographic data to each article but is not a repository for the full-text versions. Fortunately, you can select "Find It" to see if we have access to the full-text in our ALL-Search. If there is a Full-Text PDF link under the article, you may click that. These two databases search articles by subject, title, author and these specialized criteria: 

  • Methodology Types (Trials, Systematic Reviews, Meta Analyses, Literature Reviews, etc.) 
  • Type of Record
  • Supplemental Data (Data Sets, Appendices, etc) 
  • Population
  • Age Group 
  • Class
  • APA Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms 
Education Databases

The below databases are good search tools for finding articles from peer-reviewed journals AND from non-peer-reviewed magazines and trade journals (Periodicals). 

Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) provides indexing for articles on age/grade level, intended audience, and publication type. ERIC content is not included in an all search. The rest of the databases are included in an ALL-Search but these are good places to go when finding articles from popular sources and trade journals.

Web of Science Citation Index 

Web of Science Citation Index tracks the impact of articles by measuring and documenting which articles are citing other articles. Web of Science is also not included in an ALL-Search, but you can try to locate the full-text in our ALL-Search by selecting "Find It"
