The American Psychological Association (APA) has announced the indexing of the 3 millionth record in their PsycINFO database. This achievement is the result of over 8 decades of detailed abstracting and indexing of international literature in the field of psychology and its related disciplines. The most recent million records have been added within just the last 6 years, and stem from an expansion of PsycINFO to include growing coverage of neuroscience, life sciences, statistics and forensics.
The 3 millionth entry indexed the article originally published in the November 2010 issue of Neuropsychology, an APA journal edited by Stephen M. Rao of the Cleveland Clinic. The article is titled, 'Rehabilitating patients with left spatial neglect by prism exposure during a visuomotor activity'.
From its beginnings in 1927 as Psychological Abstracts, PsycINFO claims to have been an unparalleled resource for psychological and behavioural research throughout scholarly and professional fields. The vast coverage of abstracts from books, journals, and dissertations from the 16th Century to the present provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of psychology over time. Expanded coverage also includes grants and sponsorships, tests and measures, supplemental materials, publication history, as well as over 45 million cited references total within the database.
