NSPC has now secured a license for the use of PsychInfo, along with PsycArticles that enables access to the full text of over more than 204,516 papers published in over 80 journals in behavioral science and related fields ranging from education, to nursing, to business, to neuroscience.

This is a special deal with Middlesex University that we have been working on for a while that enables students on our validated courses to have much the same level of access as our joint courses students. The agreement has now been signed. You will hear from us in due course with details of how to access these services. We hope that this enhances your learning experience with NSPC, particularly those of you who are currently conducting research.
