Field Searching and Limit Options

This guide explores effective methods for searching and limiting options in PsycINFO and ERIC databases. It addresses how to refine searches using specific publication types and research methodologies, and emphasizes the importance of controlled vocabulary and subject codes such as Early Childhood (0518). The discussion includes strategies for balancing sensitivity and specificity, choosing appropriate databases, and leveraging specialized search features to enhance research outcomes. Ideal for researchers looking to streamline their literature search processes in psychology and education.
