  • PubMed - Biomedical topics, life sciences, behavioral sciences, nursing, allied health, chemical sciences, and bioengineering
  • CINAHL - Nursing, Allied Health, and Public Health
  • PsycINFO - Psychology
  • EMBASE - Pharmacy, Biomedicine, evidence-based
  • Scopus - Medicine, social sciences, technology
  • ERIC - Education
