ERIC (Education Resource Information Center)

ERIC provides access to scholarly educational literature and to ERIC Documents. This resource from the U.S. Dept. of Education contains over 1.4 million records for article citations and abstracts from education journals, together with links to many thousands of full-text documents (books, papers, reports, and more) from ERIC back to 1966. ERIC actively indexes more than 1,100 journals (90% peer-reviewed).

 

Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY)

The Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) includes timely, consumer-oriented reviews of psychological tests and measures. Typical MMY test entries include descriptive information, two professional reviews, and reviewer references. To be reviewed in the MMY a test must be commercially available, be published in the English language, and be new, revised, or widely used since it last appeared in the MMY series. Beginning in The Fourteenth Mental Measurements Yearbook, tests also must include sufficient documentation supporting their technical quality to meet criteria for review. This database contains full-text reviews of more than 3,000 contemporary testing instruments and all previous editions of the yearbook dating back to 1938 (providing more than 10,000 full-text reviews in all).

PsycINFO

PsycINFO is produced by the American Psychological Association and is most comprehensive and authoritative international database of psychology. Provides citations and abstracts from the academic, research and practice literature in psychology, and includes materials from related disciplines such as medicine, psychiatry, education, social work and criminology. Indexes journals, books and book chapters, dissertations and technical reports. To increase the number of full text articles in your results, use Ebsco Combined Database search to search along with PsycARTICLES.
