What is PsycEXTRA?

PsycEXTRA, a gray literature database, is a companion to the scholarly PsycINFO database. It supplies clinicians, information professionals, policy-makers, researchers, and consumers with a wide variety of important information in psychology, behavioral science, and health. Most of the content was written for professionals and disseminated outside of peer-reviewed journals.

Documents include newsletters, magazines, newspapers, technical and annual reports, government reports, consumer brochures, and more. PsycEXTRA is different from PsycINFO in its coverage, and also in its format, because it includes abstracts and citations plus full text for a major portion of the records. There is no coverage overlap with PsycINFO.
