Can't find what you're looking for in PsycINFO?

While PsycINFO should be your go-to for psychology research, you might also find relevant articles in multidisciplinary databases like Google Scholar or Web of Science. Because psychological research frequently overlaps with other fields, you'll also discover pertinent studies in subject-specific databases such as Medline (for health research) or ERIC (for educational research). For instance, a study on the psychological effects of a new medical treatment would likely appear in Medline, while research on cognitive development in children would be found in ERIC.

A key difference to remember when using these other databases is that they lack a "Methodology" filter. Therefore, to determine if an article is an empirical study, you'll need to carefully read the abstract of each article.
