Does pubmed list publications from every journal (medically related ones)? What about psychology, psychiatry, or public health ones--are they listed there too?

I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet you could have figured it out in less time than it took to make this post by going to PubMed and doing one or two searches.

There is tons of psychological and public health research on PubMed.

Essentially, but you can also try the National Library of Congress.

In my experience (mostly limited to basic science and medical journals), all journals worth reading are on Pubmed. Most journals aren't free though, you'll need some kind of institutional password to get access to articles.

Thanks!

I did wiloghby, and I noticed that the principal investigators I searched up (about 30 or so of them) hadn't published since 2010, which I was not willing to believe since they are still researchers at a research institution. That's why I wanted to know whether or not pubmed carries those public health/psych journals b/c I find it hard to believe that they really haven't published for 3 years.

It's not unheard of for a PI to go a few years without a paper. At least in science, its great if a lab has at least one paper per year, but it doesn't always happen. Plus, public health and psych are different fields - who knows whats typical for those professors. You also have PIs who are older/emeritus faculty who don't do much research anymore, faculty with mostly teaching responsibilities, etc. Research may not be their main priority. Just because someone technically has lab space or has published research in the past doesn't mean they're priority is cranking out multiple pubs per year.

+1. In one of labs that I worked in, the PI scaled back on pub writing and submitting pubs once she got tenure. It drove me nuts because so many papers in the lab would get half written (and I wrote part of the paper) and were never submitted for publication. Maybe I should go visit and ask about the status of those papers. 😀
