Professor of Psychology Jonathan Vaughan and Hamilton students Stephanie Godleski '05, Aram Kudurshian '06 and Colby Fisher '03 designed and implemented the Psychonomic Society's new Web-based archive. The Psychonomic Society promotes the communication of scientific research in psychology and allied sciences.
The archive holds a variety of materials that are of general use to researchers in the fields of experimental psychology in electronic form. The archival web site was formally inaugurated with the publication of the August and November 2004 special issues of Behavior Research Methods, Instruments and Computers.
Vaughan, a member of the society since 1972, is editor of the journal Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, & Computers, web archivist, and a member of the society's publications committee.
The 2,500 members of the Psychonomic Society are qualified to conduct and supervise scientific research, must hold the Ph.D. degree or equivalent, and must have published significant research other than the doctoral dissertation.
