How to Contribute

This wiki is designed to be a depository of information for those working in the field of I-O psychology. It depends on the input of users for content, so anyone with useful information is encouraged to share it with the community. This could include documents outlining best practices, pages dedicated to new information and developments in the field, research and white papers, or any other resource that could benefit academics and practitioners working in I-O psychology or a related field.

To Add Your Own Information:

This wiki has been designed to accommodate information to support the science and practice of I-O psychology.  To add your own information to the wiki, click the link titled "Science and Practice Resources" on the left menu. From there, click the link of the topic category that best fits your information. When you reach that topic page, add your information in the format of your choice. You do not need to register or login to edit or add information. Some options include:

  • Edit pages- To edit a page, click the "Edit Page" link at the top of that page. Any page that does not contain this lilnk is a page that is not open for editing.
  • Add an informative paragraph about the topic- Just like Wikipedia, you can use the wikis to create informative encyclopedia-like pages on a particular topic. Feel free to add such information on each topic page, including links and attached documents.
  • Add links- You can add links to a page by clicking the "Insert/Edit Link" icon in the options menu of the page (It's the picture of the chain-link on the second row, 6th from the RIGHT).  Type the full link URL where specified and click the "Insert Link" button. You can also control how your link opens. For example, if you would like your link to open in a new window, choose the "blank page" option in the target menu.
  • Add attachments/documents- There are three ways you can attach a document to a page:
    • Insert a link to a document that is located on another server- This option inserts a link to the attachment directly into the text of the page. For example, if your document can be found on your company or university's Web site, you can link to that document using the company or university's URL.  To do this, use the steps in the "Add Links" bullet point above.
    • Insert an attachment directly onto the page- This option lists the attachments in a special section at the bottom of the page. When you are at the page you would like to add the attachment to, click the "Page" link located at the top of the screen and then click the "Attachments" option. This will open the attachments for that page. Click "Browse" to find your document, then click "Upload" to attach it. After the document is added to the list, deselect the "Hide" option so that the document will show up in the list.
    • Insert an attachment onto the page and link from the text- This option attaches the document to the page but allows you to link to the document from the text instead of listing it on the attachments list at the bottom of the page. Follow the instructions to "Insert an attachment directly onto the page" but instead of deselecting the "Hide" box, keep it checked so that the attachment doesn't show up on the page. Right click on the file name of the attachment. Select "Copy Link" or "Copy Link Address." Depending on what browser you're using, the wording can be different. Go back to the page to edit the text. Using your mouse select, the text you want to turn into a link. Click the"Insert/Edit Link"button on the toolbar. In the Link URL box, paste in the link address you copied from the attachment. Click the "Insert Link" button.

Remember to click "Save and Close" after you are done editing a page to be sure all your additions are saved!
