Validity and Reliability Testing in Databases

Validity and reliability testing and other reviews on specific tests tend to be very small searches. A basic keyword search for the name of the test and any known variants in PubMed and several meta-searches will give the best chance of results. Meta-searches are combined searches of two or more databases, catalogues, or indexes.  

Example of keyword search for a scale:   "Beck Depression Inventory" OR BDI 

A search for the scale in the following discovery/meta-searches and WorldCat should be comprehensive. 

OneSearch

EBSCO Meta-search

ProQuest Meta-search

WorldCat Discovery
