Tips

PsycINFO tips 

  • Use Advanced Search for more precise searching
  • Start with a keyword search. Identify keywords by using terms and subject headings that worked well in your Omni searches
  • Use the Only Show Content Where section to limit your search to a specific age group, population, doc type, research methodology, etc.
  • Use date to narrow results within a date range
  • Use "quotation marks" for exact phrases
  • Use * symbol for truncation / different word endings
  • Use Peer-Reviewed journals only
  • Use the thesaurus ('term finder') to find controlled vocabulary or Thesaurus of Psychological Index terms.
