Abstract
On the EBSCO platform (or EBSCOhost, if you prefer), MEDLINE and APA PsycInfo both have searchable thesauri. However, while these two thesauri are both hierarchical, EBSCO does not index them in the same way, which leads to inconsistent explosion behavior. This post addresses just those two databases, but the issue itself is relevant across the EBSCO platform. According to EBSCO's documentation, only MEDLINE, CINAHL, Environmental Policy Index and ERIC support traditional explosion.
