Databases

Databases allow you to search for articles, conference papers, dissertations and book chapters on subjects relevant to your research in Psychology. You can also search for articles by a particular author or find articles that cite a specific author's works. Some databases contain only brief citation information. Others include abstracts or full-text journal articles.

These databases are restricted to Carnegie Mellon students, faculty and staff. To access them remotely, go to Remote User Access.
