It’s Tutorial Thursday! In this series, we explore APA’s library of video tutorials available on the APA Publishing Training YouTube channel. Please feel free to link to or embed our videos in your library websites or LibGuides, course management systems, or other locations where students, faculty, and researchers will find them.
The first video, Finding High Quality Original Research in APA PsycInfo, is an introduction for all platforms that explains what an empirical study is and what it means for a study to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
The second video demonstrates how to quickly and easily find peer-reviewed empirical articles using the filters in APA PsycInfo.
