What is the difference between APA PsycInfo and APA PsycArticles?
Published by the American Psychological Association (APA), both are databases for discovering scholarly, behavioral sciences and mental health literature dating back to 1806-current. Hampshire subscribes to both databases (link to both below).
PsycInfo is an indexing and abstracting tool that will often provide the full-text of sources, but not always. It has approximately 5 million records consistlng of mostly journal articles, book chapters, and dissertations. It covers more than 2,500 journals from many different publishers. Areas of coverage include: AI; business; education; law; linguistics; medicine; neuroscience; pharmacology; political science; social work; sociology; and sports. 99% of the content is peer-reviewed. The library can assist with locating the full text from the citations that you find in PsycInfo.
