PsycArticles

Use PsycArticles if you want to search for full-text articles from psychology journals published by the American Psychological Association (APA). Note: PsychINFO, another database, allows for more in-depth searching within the field of psychology and related disciplines such as psychiatry, social work, medicine, etc. but not all citations include full-text articles.

Once you open the PsycArticles database, you would click on the search boxes located to the right of PsycArticles to begin searching. (See Figure 1)
