Our Vision
The vision of HGAPS is to bridge the gap between students, clinicians, researchers, and the public by creating and spreading accessible and free resources. We bring together students and content experts to gather and present the best information about psychological science to the people who would benefit.
We aim to link Wikipedia (and Google) with high quality resources and information about psychological science, improving the next generation of training, and creating tools that help practitioners and researchers.
