Discussion
This wiki seems like a fantastic idea. We need to get contributors discussing the Wiki in the same way that Wikiprojects in Wikipedia are discussed however. For example consider the psychology wikiproject page: .

Discuss stuff here...

= I think that this is a fantastic idea. The internet was originally developed at the particle accelerator labs in Cern, for this exact purpose. The idea was that scientists could hyperlink papers and cross reference all of their work, in a collaborative way, which would be useful to everyone.

If we can attract enough interested psychologists this project should work really well, as Lifeartist has envisaged.

What is Psychology Psychology is the scientific study of the behavior of humans and animals. Psychologists use scientific methods in an attempt to understand and predict behavior, to develop procedures for changing behavior, and to evaluate treatment strategies. Research might be conducted n the laboratory where the factors studied can be controlled; or it may take place in a real life setting where more natural behavior is studied.

There are many areas of psychology, each attempting to explain behavior from a slightly different perspective. Social psychology is concerned with the effects of social situations on human behavior. Personality theorists study individual behavior. Developmental psychologists study principles and processes responsible for change throughout life. Comparative psychologists study animal behaviors across the range of species, while physiological psychologists are concerned with the biological bases of behavior. Learning is an area of psychology exploring how new behaviors are learned and maintained. Cognitive psychologists investigate memory, thought, problem solving, and the psychological aspects of learning.

Clinical psychologists study ways to help individuals and groups of individuals change their behavior. Industrial/organizational psychologists are concerned with the physical and social aspects of people's work environments as they affect work output. Community psychologists use scientific methods to study and solve social problems.

Numerous and varied career opportunities are open to students who hold the bachelor's or master's degree in psychology. These include careers in business, such as management, public relations, personnel, and staff training; in agencies responsible for mental health service delivery in clinics, hospitals, and special schools; in teaching for child care facilities, preschools, and in conjunction with a teaching credential in elementary and secondary schools; in research, to conduct surveys, program evaluations, and basic study.

A bachelor's degree in psychology serves as preparation for graduate programs in psychology, social work, education, counseling, law, medicine, and business. A Ph.D. in psychology is required for teaching at the university level and for licensing as a psychologist (independent practice of psychotherapy).

Uploading file
Hi Joe

I have tried to upload a PDF document to one of my links without success, can you guide me through it?

Also, how do I send a message to you? Is it on this discussion board or via a different link?

Thank you,

amy.

PDF files cant be uploaded yet
Hi Amy

Thanks for all your good work.

You can contact me here or through my talk page at User_talk:Lifeartist and I can reply though yours at User_talk:Amy which you can access of the discussion tab off your User:Amy page, off the account name - top right of the screen.

Unfortunately we cannot currently upload pdf files although its something I have raised with the people who run and develop the software. The best we can do for the moment is to make a link to them if they are reliably stored elsewhere. Supposedly, a number of universities are developing archives for electronic papers etc, but I havent been able to find one we can use. Ideally we would like to know that once installed in the archive they would not then be removed. I'll let you know if I can identify such a facility.

I've had a look into this and The most appropriate place to do this is to lodge the file at http://cogprints.org/ where you can upload it in a variety of formats, including pdf, where it is given an accession number and you can refer to it from the Psychology Wiki with an http;// link.

The instructions for doing this are in the site after you have registered.

Have you got Liz organised to help you set up the structure of your area?

Tip when you sign your question etc if you put 4~ that will automatically sign you out if you are logged in like so Lifeartist 06:37, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Loading pdf files
Good news Amy. The loading of pdf files is enabled. To do this use the 'Upload file' link below the search boxes on the left hand side panel. Put the name of the file on the site and a description of it with see the edit version of this page to understand this)which will free the copyright and then locate the file on your computer with the browse box. When all is ready to go- hit the upload button.

The trick that had me foxed is that when you want to make a link to the uploaded pdf file you have to make the link with the picture frame button (Image button} next to the A by the globe on the picture buttons above the edit box. So highlight the name of your file click the picture frame and it will put the word image and the square brackets around the name to make the link. Hope thats clear.see this page PhDitis:_practitioner:further_readingfor an example. Come back to me if you need more help.
