This article reports that EBSCO Publishing has added Searchable Cited References to the EBSCOhost version of Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature. It also added PsycEXTRA to EBSCOhost. The Searchable Cited References provide a means for extending research by allowing users to locate additional information related to an article of interest. This functionality lets users link directly from a particular article to other articles cited in the bibliography of the original article. It also allows users to link directly from a particular article to other articles in the database that cite the original article. The addition of PsycEXTRA enhances the existing collection of psychology and behavioral sciences databases available via EBSCOhost by providing coverage of relevant topics from a unique perspective. Aside from access via the American Psychological Association's PsycNet platform, this database will only be available via the EBSCOhost interface. PsycEXTRA consists of gray literature, including document types such as technical reports, conference abstracts and papers, newsletters, magazines, newspapers, consumer brochures, and more. The database currently indexes approximately 45,000 records with full text provided for more than 22,000 of them.
