« SIOP 2006 Conference Program Online | Main | Everything Bad is Good For You »
On March 20, 2006 by Jamie Madigan

The April 2006 issue of The Industrial Psychologist (TIP) is online, and inside is something of particular importance to me: my first TIP column! Marcus Dickson (from Wayne State) and I are co-editing a new column called "Good Science–Good Practice." Read the first issue here.
The column will report on research that is of use to the mythical Scientist Practitioner. Here, I'll just quote us directly:
In some cases, we will highlight recently published research, in order to promote the visibility of that research. In other cases, we will highlight research that is accepted for publication but not yet in print. We may even focus on papers presented at the SIOP conference because those fly under many people’s radar. We intend to cast a broad net in order to identify a diverse range of studies that would be of interest to the widest range of SIOP members, but in general, we will seek out research that is rigorous enough to meet high scientific standards and advance a given body of knowledge, yet applicable and useful enough to be applied to the challenges most practitioners face every day.
I'm really excited about this column. It scratches the same kind of itch that this website does, and it's kind of nice to get my name out there and get some formal involvement in SIOP that extends beyond paying dues and filling seats at the conventions. Hopefully people will enjoy it.
And like Marcus and I say in the first issue of the column in this month's TIP, if you have or know of research that you think fits the bill, send us a note so we can consider it for the column!
