Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, and the American Psychological Association (APA) have expanded their partnership to allow PsycTESTS to be available via EBSCOhost. The PsycTESTS database provides descriptive summaries, full text and relevant citations on the development and assessment of tests and measures that can be used in research and teaching.
PsycTESTS serves as a repository for the full text (when available) of psychological tests and measures as well as a source of structured information about tests of relevance to psychologists and professionals in related fields such as psychiatry, management, business, education, social science, neuroscience, law, medicine, and social work.
More than 7,000 master test profiles and over 5,000 instances of actual tests or test items, spanning from 1910 to the present, are currently included in PsycTESTS. Researchers using PsycTESTS are able to discover unpublished tests, tests developed by psychologists for which no source document has been located and information about select published tests available from commercial publishers. PsycTESTS will be available via EBSCOhost in early July.
EBSCOhost claims to be the world’s most used research database platform. EBSCO has more than 60 years of experience dealing with libraries. PsycTESTS adds unique value to the company’s collection of psychology databases.
