The American Psychological Association (APA) and Ovid, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health, have announced the availability of the APA’s research database, PsycTESTS, on the OvidSP platform.
This distribution arrangement between APA and Ovid offers institutions choice in access to this database of ready-to-use test instruments, which is also available on APA’s proprietary platform, APA PsycNET. In addition to PsycTESTS, OvidSP also hosts other APA databases. These include PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, PsycBOOKS, PsycEXTRA, and PsycCRITIQUES.
PsycTESTS is a new research database that provides access to an abundance of full-text psychological tests, measures, scales, and other assessments as well as descriptive and administrative information for each. The database also covers select commercially published tests, and provides direct links to purchase these tests from their respective publisher sites. All test records in PsycTESTS are created by skilled indexers with deep knowledge of the psychology literature. Full instruments are available in convenient download formats, including printable PDF, images, audio, or software for easy display and use.
PsycTESTS is updated monthly and currently includes over 4,100 total records, with more than 3,500 indexed test records, and 2,400 ready-to-use instruments.
