Creativity Research Journal. (1988-present).
A major journal for the publication of research investigating creativity in its scientific, medical, behavioral, and artistic aspects. The journal’s webpage has its own search box, but it is also indexed and searchable in the databases Academic Search Complete, Education Source, and PsycINFO. Unfortunately, due to a failure to negotiate a reasonable price for the journal, the UC Library system's access to the journal directly from the publisher ceased at the end of 2012. Luckily, the full text of most 2013 articles are indexed and included in PsycINFO, and thewy will begin to appear in the Academic Search Complete and Education Source databases approximately 18 months after they are published.
