Washington — July 10, 2009 — The American Psychological Association (APA) announces the release of a significant enhancement for all PsycARTICLES® and PsycCRITIQUES® users on the APA PsycNET search platform. With newly-redesigned HTML display functionality for all full-text documents in both databases, APA PsycNET now allows users to browse, search and share content more easily than ever.
The enhanced display features launched in May for all APA PsycNET users, including institutions and APA members who subscribe via APA PsycNET Silver™, APA PsycNET Gold™, or APA PsycNET Platinum™. No additional fees or software updates are required for users to take advantage of these enhancements.
Specific new HTML features include a modified layout for improved readability; quick links between article sections for easier navigation; social bookmark links for expedited sharing and collaboration; and more. Each article and review also features extensive tools for researchers and authors alike, with e-mail/RSS alerts, manuscript submission resources, and RefWorks export integration.
Launched in 2007, APA PsycNET is designed specifically for APA databases with all searchable fields mapped to APA products. It is available to institutions as a delivery platform for site licenses for each of APA's five databases. APA members and non-member individuals can subscribe to APA's databases via APA PsycNET on an annual basis. It also powers APA PsycNET Direct, APA's transactional access portal.
PsycARTICLES is the largest full-text journal database in psychology, containing more than 142,000 articles from 1894 to the present. All APA-published journals are available electronically through PsycARTICLES.
PsycCRITIQUES features nearly 40,000 full-text reviews of psychology books from 1956 to the present, with 10-12 reviews added each week. Sample reviews are made available each week on the PsycCRITIQUES Blog.
