Following in Topic Mapper’s footsteps, the Explore Journal feature is the newest discovery tool to release within APA PsycInfo research notifications. While providing access to a broad spectrum of publications and content categories is a core feature of our service, we recognize that sometimes it’s better to zoom in to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Think of Explore Journal as a social media profile. Just like visiting someone’s Facebook page, Explore Journal is a peek into a journal’s timeline, who they hang out with, how many likes their last post got, and what they do.
