Getting Started
IU Libraries has a Research Guide for each discipline. Psychological resources can be found here.
General Searching (Multi-Disciplinary) Databases
-
Full-text magazine, newspaper, and scholarly journal articles for most academic disciplines. Also contains an image database.
-
-
A citation database of peer-reviewed academic journal articles.
- Google Scholar
Special version of Google's index to scholarly content on the web. Connects to full-text resources available to IU users.
Psychology Databases
These databases provide information specific to the field of psychology. PsycINFO is one of the most popular psychology databases IU Libraries has access to, but there are plenty of other tools listed below.
- APA PsycINFO (EBSCO)
Access to peer-reviewed literature in behavioral science, social sciences, and mental health fields. Produced by the American Psychological Association.
- Psychotherapy.net
This collection offers streaming videos which show actual psychotherapy sessions, and experts discuss their thoughts behind their interventions.
- Psychological Experiments Online
Psychological Experiments Online is a multimedia collection that synthesizes psychological experiments of the 20th and 21st centuries.
- Psychiatry Online
Online access to psychiatric textbooks, journals, and professional development tools. Includes the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders fifth edition
Survey Tests & Measures
- APA PsycTests
Produced by the American Psychological Association, this database provides access to thousands of test instruments, most of which are available for immediate download and use in teaching and research.
- PhenX Toolkit
The PhenX Toolkit (consensus measures for Phenotypes and eXposures) provides recommended standard data collection protocols for conducting biomedical research. The protocols are selected by Working Groups of domain experts using a consensus process, which includes the scientific community. The Toolkit provides detailed protocols for collecting data and tools to help investigators incorporate these protocols into their studies. Using protocols from the PhenX Toolkit facilitates cross-study analysis, potentially increasing the scientific impact of individual studies. PhenX is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).
- PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System)
PROMIS® (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) is a set of person-centered measures that evaluates and monitors physical, mental, and social health in adults and children. It can be used with the general population and with individuals living with chronic conditions.
- Health and Psychosocial Instruments (HaPI)
Other Resources
- PubMed
Biomedical citations and abstracts (MEDLINE and OLDMEDLINE) from the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Additional citations, approximately 1% of the database, are from other sources.
- Dataplanet
Data analysis resource for social science researchers and students. Includes access to 13.5 billion U.S. and international datasets from over 90 sources. Users can manipulate datasets, compare multiple indicators and sources, chart trends over time, and map data on a single interface, as well as create customizable visualizations of the data.
- JoVE
JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments) provides access to peer reviewed scientific video journals. JoVE has produced over 5,500 videos demonstrating experiments from laboratories at top research institutions.
