SLU-Madrid Expands Research Support with APA PsycTests, Open Journal Finder
The Saint Louis University-Madrid library has expanded its collection of research resources with access to APA PsycTests, providing students, faculty and researchers with a valuable tool for discovering psychological assessments and research instruments.
Developed by the American Psychological Association (APA), APA PsycTests offers access to thousands of psychological tests, surveys, scales and other assessment tools used across psychology, education, behavioral sciences and related disciplines. The database includes both published and unpublished instruments, helping researchers identify validated measures for academic projects, theses, dissertations and scholarly research.
Users can explore a wide range of assessment types, including personality inventories, cognitive and neuropsychological tests, educational assessments, clinical and mental health measures, developmental scales and research surveys. Many records also include information on a test's purpose, target population, administration procedures, reliability, validity and references to studies in which the instrument has been used.
APA PsycTests is available through the SLU Libraries electronic databases and can be accessed from the SLU-Madrid library website alongside the University's other academic resources. Library staff are also available to help members of the University community locate appropriate assessments and make effective use of the database.
Supporting Research Beyond the Classroom
In addition to APA PsycTests, the SLU-Madrid library continues to provide access to Open Journal Finder, a resource that helps researchers identify journals that align with their area of study and publishing goals.
The tool allows users to search for journals by subject, compare publishing options and explore open access opportunities when preparing manuscripts for publication. It can be especially useful for faculty members, graduate students and undergraduate researchers looking for potential publication venues.
The library also offers guidance on journal selection, open access publishing and other aspects of the research process, reinforcing its commitment to supporting scholarship across the SLU-Madrid community.
Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to explore these resources through the SLU-Madrid library and take advantage of the research support available throughout every stage of their academic work.
