[Eril-l] Renaming of PsycINFO on EBSCOhost platform

[Mary Kate Boyd-Byrnes]

So which is it guys?

Are we capitalizing the name of the product after the word APA and following the Psyc?

Or, are we listing it as Absco does on the front page of each specific platform?

On the APA website, they're still listing the databases using the familiar syntax of "PsycALL_CAPS_SPECIFIC_PRODUCT":

- PsycINFO
- PsycARTICLES
- PsycTESTS
- PsyTHERAPY
 etc.

I guess it's a mixture of reminding users that the APA produces the databases, strengthening the APA brand and highlighting that the databases are related to the APA output style for referencing.

Subject: [Eril-l] Renaming of PsycINFO on EBSCOhost platform

I was wondering if anyone knows who or what was behind the recent change in the EBSCOhost platform with the name used for PsycINFO. Until this past week, EBSCOhost presented it as "PsycINFO." Now, it's labeled "APA PscyInfo." A similar change was made to PsycARTICLES (APA PsycArticles) and presumably other APA databases that one can get on the EBSCOhost platform.

Was this change requested by APA? Is the change also present on other platforms where you can get PsycINFO (such as ProQuest)?
