The Mental Measurements Yearbook is a unique resource. When conducting research, you should always search multiple sources and ensure your in-text citations & works cited page follow proper format. For more information on citing sources, check out the following links.
To properly cite a review from the MMY on your 'works cited' page, you will need to know the specific MMY edition in which your review was published, because the editors of each edition vary. The edition your review was published in can be found by using the Mental Measurements Yearbook review number found in the online record. (See the number in the green box in the screen shot on the MMY-TIP Online via EBSCO tab) The first two digits of the Mental Measurements Yearbook review number indicate the specific edition.
