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.

In this short video you’ll learn How to Find Preprint Articles in the APA PsycNet Databases. We’ll start with a brief description of preprint articles, including why they matter. Next, we’ll demonstrate how to access them and how to create alerts to stay current on upcoming preprints in your research area.

By the end of this video you will be able to:

• Recognize the value of preprint articles.
• Identify several ways preprint articles are referred to by databases and publishers.
• Access preprint articles in APA PsycNet.
• Create an alert in APA PsycNet to access forthcoming preprint articles.
