Current Featured Article

Our current article can still be improved:

Recovery from Acquired Brain Injury

Article being prepared

We are currently working on cleaning, adding to and correcting the article on Clinical Depression. The idea is to get this article to a very high standard, so that we can determine how we want our finalised articles to look. The idea of this is that:
1) We can then show it off as an example of how the site will look to attract new users.
2) It will serve as a guide for how to lay out future articles for future contributors to follow. Please see the article and its Talk Page.

Future Articles

We are considering getting the following articles up to featured article standard:

Absolutely NO copyrighted articles should be copied to the Psychology Wiki!

Papers can be linked to (.pdf format is best).
Published/copyrighted work MUST NOT be uploaded as article content.

Unpublished Work/Research

Old coursework can be uploaded to this site.
Academic Credit for Contributions.
Any coursework uploaded to a general content page can and will be changed by other editors
So DO NOT upload your published or unpublished important research in this form!
Published work should be linked to as .pdfs
Unpublished work you wish to remain unedited should be linked to as .pdfs
Any work uploaded as an article is copyright free.

Plagiarism

Content on the Psychology Wiki that is not in .pdf is copyright free and can be re-used by anyone for any purpose.
However, wholesale copying of articles which you then present as your own work is still plagiarism.
Plagiarism is a serious misdemeanor in Academic and Professional circles.
At its most serious it can lead to being expelled from courses, or even educational institutions.
