Psychology

ERIC - a key indexing database for education and the social sciences - is undergoing significant changes whose full implications aren't clear yet. 

At this stage it appears that new content will continue to be indexed and no existing content will be removed unless it is retracted by its publisher.   

The US Institute of Education (IES) is currently estimating the volume of content which will be indexed next year and will share further information in due course (last updated 4th July 2025). 

These pages have been put together by your librarian to provide advice and resources to help with study and work for Psychology at UCL.

Key databases

PsycInfo is an essential indexing and abstracting database for literature searching for Psychology. We subscribe to a number of additional subject focused and interdisciplinary services that will also be relevant, depending on your research area and topic. 

I provide support to students and staff in Psychology who are based within the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences. Division of Psychiatry staff and students should contact the Cruciform Hub for support. Students and staff from the Department of Psychology and Human Development (IoE) should contact the IoE Library.
