Your review paper requires you to find research articles from peer-reviewed journals, and the articles must be primary sources (no review articles, magazine articles, news stories, etc.).
In the search box of the database you choose (links below), enter short keywords related to your psychopharmacology topic. The following are a few examples demonstrating how to format your keywords in the databases. For more information on formatting keywords, see our Psychology guide.
After running your search, use the database filters to limit the results to peer-reviewed articles published in the last 10 years. The video tutorial below walks you through the process of using APA Psycinfo to find articles.

If you can't access the full text of an article using any of the resources on this page, use Interlibrary Loan to request the article. We'll locate another library that has the article and get you a PDF copy for free; this typically takes 2-3 business days. UVU students and employees should never pay for articles—the library has you covered!
