What research databases should I use for Human Factors research?
The SJSU library has recommended databases for research in most majors… except ours of course. Thus a quick look through the related fields of psychology, computer science, aerospace engineering, general engineering, and kinesiology gives the best ideas.
Some specific databases that are particularly useful (note you need your library ID and PIN to access these directly):
- For HCI-related topics: ACM Digital Library
- For Psychology-related topics: PsycINFO note this is not a full-text resource
- Broad topics, including back-issues of Human Factors: Academic Search
- Another great source outside of the library is Google Scholar.
