Description

ProQuest APA PsycArticles is a research database with full-text access to 119 psychology journals from the American Psychological Association (APA) including American Psychologist.

We’ve recently migrated from EBSCO APA to ProQuest APA, so while the content remains the same, these are now external databases with a different layout and sources from these databases aren't included in the main Library Search.

Why use APA PsycArticles? 

  • You’ll find high-quality, peer-reviewed articles covering a wide range of psychology topics, including mental health, human behaviour, learning, and development.
  • Access trusted APA journals and articles. Search by topic, author, or publication. Great for essays, reports, and research projects.
  • This database is ideal for anyone looking for reliable, evidence-based academic sources in Psychology, Education, or the social sciences.

Top Tip!
Use the advanced search filters to narrow your results by date, subject, or document type - this helps you find the most relevant articles faster and more efficiently!
