Using APA PsycInfo Classification Codes on EBSCO

Posted on by Marta Soto in For Faculty, For Individual Subscribers, For Librarians, For Students

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.

Classification Codes are used in APA PsycInfo and other APA Databases to broadly categorize the primary subject matter or the main focus of an article, book chapter, or dissertation.

Adding Classification Codes to your query can help limit your search to a particular content theme. They’re a great tool for quickly limiting a large list of search results to better fit your research question, or when a search term can mean different things in different contexts, or different subfields of psychology.
