APA PsycInfo (EBSCOhost) (1887+) This link opens in a new window
The APA PsycInfo® database, American Psychological Association’s (APA) renowned resource for abstracts of scholarly journal articles, book chapters, books, and dissertations, is the largest resource devoted to peer-reviewed literature in behavioral science and mental health. It contains records and summaries dating as far back as the 1600s with one of the highest DOI matching rates in the publishing industry. Journal coverage, which spans from the 1800s to the present, includes international material selected from periodicals in dozens of languages.
"contains approximately 3 million citations and summaries dating as far back as the 1600s with DOIs for over 1.4 million records. Ninety-eight percent of the covered material is peer-reviewed. The database also includes information about the psychological aspects of related fields such as medicine, psychiatry, nursing, sociology, education, pharmacology, technology, linguistics, anthropology, business, law and others. Journal coverage, which spans from the1800s to present, includes international material selected from around 2,500 periodicals in dozens of languages."

Other Useful Databases

engrXiv (engineering archive) is dedicated to the dissemination of engineering knowledge quickly and efficiently.

TechRxiv (pronounced "tech archive") is an open, moderated preprint server for unpublished research in electrical engineering, computer science, and related technology.

CiteSeer^x - Hosted by the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State. CiteSeer^x is an evolving scientific literature digital library and search engine that has focused primarily on the literature in computer and information science. CiteSeer^x aims to improve the dissemination of scientific literature and to provide improvements in functionality, usability, availability, cost, comprehensiveness, efficiency, and timeliness in the access of scientific and scholarly knowledge.

Computing Research Repository (CoRR) - CoRR is part of the arXiv e-print service. Allows researchers to search, browse and download papers through its online repository. CoRR is available to all members of of the community at no charge. arXiv is owned and operated by Cornell University.
