Q. Which periodical databases should primarily be used for general searches in Psychology?

APA PsycARTICLES, APA PsycINFO, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection (all powered by EBSCO) are some of our most popular Psychology databases for articles. The interdisciplinary databases Academic Search Premier, ProQuest Research Library, and Sage Journals also have a large number of psychology articles. 

Psychology students should also take advantage of two additional key databases that go beyond articles. APA PsycTests provides an unprecedented archive of measurement and instrumentation tools for research and clinical use, and PsychiatryOnline Premium provides online access to the DSM-5 along with a host APA published textbooks, manuals, and handbooks in all areas of psychology. 

All of these databases, and more, can be found on the Fuller database page, psychology subject group.
