| Description | One of the pillars which guarantees the quality of academic publications is a peer-review. Psychological tests are also academic publications and their publishing includes studies of validity, reliability and norms, whose quality should be also check in review process. Test reviews are common in English speaking countries and for some purposes only reviewed tests can be used. Journal Testfórum has been publishing test reviews in the Czech Republic since 2014, however reviews are not usual nor systematic. I will introduce my experiences with test reviewing as a journal editor and I will explain the review process we use. I will point out the main reasons why we require the widespread and transparent review process and why we should review not only the new methods, but also methods which are currently in common use. I will describe also the test review model of EFPA, which we use in Testfórum, with its structure. At the and I will point out possibilities for authors, reviewers and test distributors in the journal. |
