When you feel confident using library search you can start adding to your search process by looking for journal articles in specialist Psychology databases. While these databases help power and feed into the results in library search they are worth investigating individually as well as they have extra search functions and also help surface abstracts and articles not yet held by the UEA
You can find a full list of the specialist research tools and platforms used in Psychology by selecting Psychology from the subject drop down list in A-Z Databases.
Here are some of the key platforms for Psychology which you may want to investigate first:
