Why the APA (American Psychology Association) databases are important.
APA PsycArticles
1. APA PsycArticles is the only collection that provides full-text access to content from 119 APA Journals™ and APA affiliated journals. (In other words, what you will find is already narrowed and specific to your discipline—psychology and PEER REVIEWED).
APA PsycInfo
2. APA PsycInfo lists more than 5 million journal articles from nearly 2500 journal titles in the interdisciplinary world of psychology. Look for the full-text from within the database, like PsycArticles; plus, follow the links out to our other databases where we have full text access. (For example, some of the links will take you to other databases like Science Direct, SAGE Journals Online, or Taylor & Francis).
