Links to articles are all rated at a minimum of 3/5, unless the article is extremely short, then a lower rating may be given, the reason is that we never rate the content of any article and therefore wish to avoid inconsistency. The article is linked to because of its informative content only. If the article is part of a highly rated site, that article may also reflect the overall site rating. See Our Disclaimer Page

Sites that will not be rated are those that appear as an advertising banner, PsychNet-UK sponsor, consulting practices, training organization or software sites.

Site ratings are extremely subjective and are provided to give readers an indication of a potential total search experience only.  Ratings are not open for discussion but at the request of the site concerned the link may be removed completely. To request the removal of a link, email PsychNet-UK.
