ERIC

ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) is a digital collection of education research and information supplied by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the United States. Department of Education. It offers access to bibliographic records of education-related literature from 1966 to the present, including journal and non-journal materials. The mission of ERIC is to provide an easily searchable, comprehensive database of education research and information for students, educators, researchers, policymakers, librarians, parents, and the public.

ERIC’s collection contains over 1.6 million bibliographic records, including journal articles, books, conference papers, research syntheses, policy papers, technical reports, and other education-related materials. ERIC indexes over 1,000 journals, comprehensively for most articles, and selectively for some. Furthermore, there are approximately 350,000 full-text items available, including grey literature such as conference papers and reports, as well as an increasing number of journal articles and books.

ERIC works with publishers and organizations worldwide to provide education research to its users. ERIC adds metadata to publisher-provided content to make it searchable and, whenever possible, makes the PDF and/or link to purchase the article available. Over half a million users visit the ERIC website each week, with many more searching through ERIC data using vendor sites.
