Integrating Science in Applied Psychology Programs: A Student-Operated Journal
Antonius, Daniel; Brown, Adam D.; Todman, McWelling; Safran, Jeremy D.
Teaching of Psychology, v34 n1 p31-34 2007
As a requirement of APA accreditation, many PhD programs in applied psychology subscribe to some variant of the scientist-practitioner model. However, critics have argued that integrating science into an applied psychology curriculum may be too challenging a task. This article describes the development of The New School Psychology Bulletin, a student-operated journal dedicated to publishing original research articles written by psychology graduate students. We argue that the process of publishing a student-operated journal can have a positive effect on students' attitudes toward research and has the potential to serve as a model to foster integration of research and training experiences in an applied psychology program.
