Psychology LibGuide 

You can also access PsycINFO through Ovid. Practitioners and researchers in the medical field, cognitive psychology and neurology prefer Ovid with its ability to cross-search other medical-related databases.

Which platform do you prefer when searching for psychology articles?

The easiest way to locate journal articles is to use one of the library's many databases that is specific to the field of psychology. Some databases have links to the full text of the journal article online. Other databases have citations that you then have to locate the journal article for.

To locate journal articles that are not in the database try one of the following:

• Search our list of online journals and newspapers

• Search Orbis, the library's online catalog, using the "Journal/Newspaper/Magazine Title" option

• Request a copy of the article through Interlibrary Loan. More information about this free service for Yale affiliates can be found here. Remember that it can take up to two weeks to receive the requested article so start your research early!
