D'Amour Library: Behavior Analysis Library Guide: Finding Articles

What's on this page?

This page contains links to research databases, which allow you to search for popular, trade and scholarly articles.

APA PsycINFO is a good starting point. It focuses on psychology journals, and allows you to find empirical articles using the methodology filter. Academic Search Premier also indexes some behavior analysis journals that do not appear in PsycINFO.
