MMY database

According to American Psychological Association's Journal Manuscript Editor Chelsea Lee*, the correct APA 6th edition citation style for test reviews from the Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) database is shown below.

As Ms. Lee explained, at UI we are accessing the reviews via the database vendor EBSCO. However, the URL should direct the reader to the publisher of the MMY and not the database vendor. The MMY is published by the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and therefore the correct URL is http://www.unl.edu/buros

Example:

Sandoval, J. (2003). Test review of the Woodcock-Johnson III. In B. S. Plake, J. C. Impara, & R. A. Spies (Eds.), The fifteenth mental measurements yearbook. Retrieved from http://www.unl.edu

NOTE:

The author of the review and the publication year of the MMY edition are included in the citation, but the test author and publication date of the test itself do not appear.

When you locate a review in the MMY database, look for the field Yearbook. That shows what edition the review appeared in.

Find that edition in the samples below and that will be your citation template.  You will need to fill in the name of the test review author and the name of the test being reviewed. The publication date, the name(s) of editor(s), the name of the yearbook, and the Buros url website address will be the same as the template.
