Psychology
Psychology is a broad subject area and related materials may be found in many of the Rutgers University Libraries. The
most comprehensive collection of psychology books, journals, and other materials is housed at the
Library of Science and Medicine (LSM) on Busch Campus.
To locate psychology books, journals, and other resources, use
IRIS , our online catalog. To locate articles within
journals, use the link to indexes to articles below, or choose from the psychology indexes on the Rutgers University
Libraries Indexes and Databases web page.
Reference librarians are available at most of the
libraries to assist you in searching or you may email a reference librarian through our
Ask a Librarian feature on our homepage.
Indexes to Articles and Other Publications
PsycINFO is the major database for psychology. Because the study of psychology includes material from a
wide variety of research areas-- psychological information can be found in most indexes. The most
prominent ones are:
Rutgers-Restricted Access
Citation Indexes
Web of Science
Online version of Science Citation Index, Social Sciences
Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index combined.
Retrospective online to 1994.
For source information for back years, you must
use SCI at LSM and DANA Ref. Z7401.S365 and SSCI at ALEX, CAMDEN And DANA
Ref.Z161.S65
Also, use Google Scholar and the limited results from PsycINFO.
Journal Citation Reports (JCR)
The source to use for journal "impact
factors;" not as strong for psychology areas as for other areas of
science.
