Aims and Scope
Psychological Test Adaptation and Development (PTAD) is the official open access journal of the European Association of Psychological Assessment. PTAD is the first open access, peer-reviewed journal publishing papers which present the adaptation of tests to specific (e.g., cultural) needs, test translations, or the development of existing measures. Moreover, the focus will be on the empirical testing of the psychometric quality of these measures. The journal provides a paper template, and registered reports are strongly encouraged. Manuscripts that go into the review process will be subject to double-blind peer review and a plagiarism check via Crossref Similarity Check.
Psychological Test Adaptation and Development is an open access, peer-reviewed journal. All content is freely available online upon publication on Hogrefe eContent, without any charges for individual or institutional users. All articles are published with a Creative Commons license (CC BY, CC BY-NC, CC BY-ND, or CC BY-NC-ND).
