Test Reviews Online The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2001) suggests that citations to online materials list title, date, internet address, and author names of the reference. Reviews retrieved from Test Reviews Online will have a specific number attached to them with every heading. The first two numbers of the eight-digit number listed above the test name (e.g., 15132661) convey the specific edition of the "Mental Measurements Yearbook." Because The Fifteenth Mental Measurements Yearbook (i.e., any test number of 15000000 or greater) is in press, this citation format is suggested:
Keller, H. [in press] Test review of the Gray Silent Reading Tests. From B. S. Plake & J. C. Impara (Eds.), The fifteenth mental measurements yearbook [Electronic version].
