Tips for Finding an Author or Copyright Holder of a Test

Some of the advanced clinical classes require students to obtain permission to use a test. Here are some suggested steps for finding the copyright holder/author of a particular test:

  • Tests profiled in PsycTESTS include the authors of the test. Very often, these authors are affiliated with a university, and you can find their e-mail through the university website.
  • Each of the books listed in this guide will list the name of the author or publisher of the test within the test's profile. Contact information will be included.
  • If you have found a test created by an author of a journal article, the article will usually include the contact information for the author.
