Psychological services: A wonderful journey.

When we started our journey in 2006, with our original editorial team of Associate Editors Sheila Brandt, Leon Green, Jill Oliveira-Berry, and Morgan Sammons, Gary VandenBos served as managing editor. From the very beginning, we decided that was to be the division's journal and that we would craft its content to address the interests and needs of the membership, who primarily serve in public service, interdisciplinary systems. We wanted to increase the participation of psychologists in nonacademic settings in the editorial process, especially women and ethnic minorities.

Addressing Vaccination Hesitancy in Psychotherapy.

Vaccine hesitancy refers to delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccination despite availability of vaccination series. The majority of psychologists reported that they do not anticipate resuming in-person service delivery until after a vaccine was available. There are currently no best practice guidelines for making the transition back to in-office practice after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Psychological Practice at Six Months of COVID-19: A Follow-Up to the First National Survey of Psychologists During the Pandemic.

We conducted a survey of licensed psychologists at two weeks and again at six months after the declaration of a national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Data sharing in psychology.

Routine data sharing, defined here as the publication of the primary data and any supporting materials required to interpret the data acquired as part of a research study, is still in its infancy in psychology, as in many domains. Nevertheless, with increased scrutiny on reproducibility and more funder mandates requiring sharing of data, the issues surrounding data sharing are moving beyond whether data sharing is a benefit or a bane to science, to what data should be shared and how. Here, we present an overview of these issues, specifically focusing on the sharing of so-called "long tail" data, that is, data generated by individual laboratories as part of largely hypothesis-driven research.

From print to digital (1985-2015): APA's evolving role in psychological publishing.

The window on psychology's literature: a history of Psychological Abstracts.

With the rapid expansion of scientific information at the end of the 19th century, disciplines sought ways to keep their members abreast of the relevant research. Those pressures were felt in the science of psychology in the United States, where psychologists developed a bibliographic aid, The Psychological Index, in 1895 only a little more than a decade after G. Stanley Hall opened America's first psychology laboratory.
