Why use PsychWiki?
There are a few reasons to use online resources such as...
- A wiki is a useful tool for psychologists. see List of Uses/Tools.
- You are your web presence. With the advent of the online age its becoming increasingly common that "you are your web presence" because search engings other than PscyINFO are a starting point for seeing psychologists' web pages, lab pages, research pages, and so forth.
