PsycINFO is an abstract database of psychological literature from
1887-present. It contains more than 1.5 million references to journal
articles, books, book chapters, technical reports, and dissertations
published in over 45 countries. All abstracts in PsycINFOŽ are written in
English, but the covered literature includes material in more than 30
languages.
PsycINFO covers literature that is relevant to psychology. In addition to
"core" psychology topics such as personality or mental health, PsycINFO
contains abstracts on behavioural topics from related disciplines. You
can find references about health care, education, business, organisational
behaviour, consumer behaviour, criminal justice, artificial intelligence,
and much more.
Features of the BIDS/SilverPlatter service include:
* The complete PsycINFO database with all backfiles -- total coverage from
1887 to present, updated weekly
