Basics refresher (or intro) Need an overview of psychology
resources at UGA? You may use the class guide for the Research

- The Strategy tab will explain Boolean searching -- using "and"
& "or" to create searches. - The Peer-Review tab will define
peer-review, show you the parts of a research article, and give

- The Locations tab will list "what's where" for psychology
materials in the UGA Libraries. Meta-analysis and other terms In
PSYC 4230, you may need to find meta-analysis articles. Meta-

considered a step in a systematic review; however, you will
occasionally find systematic reviews with a disclaimer -- "We
were unable to do a meta-analysis." This may be because of an
error in the original research
