Professional psychology associations can provide a wealth of resources for students and professionals. These associations publish current research, host conferences, and can provide professional development courses. Below is a limited list of professional associations in the field of psychology.
The organization of applied mathematicians and computational scientists, dedicated to enriching the profession through publications, conferences, activity groups, and programs since 1952.
AMS Publishing offers many of their journals in open access, including the "diamond" open access title Communications of the American Mathematical Society.
arXiv arXiv is an open-access repository of electronic preprint papers that are approved for posting after moderation (but not yet peer reviewed). arXiv provides access to scientific papers in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics.
Project Euclid is a partnership between Cornell University Library and Duke University Press to advance scholarly communication in theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics, and to provide a platform for small publishers of scholarly journals to move from print to electronic in a cost-effective way. Over 70% of the journal articles hosted on Project Euclid are openly available.
MSP develops publishing software, focusing on assisting and creating scientific research publications. They publish journals, books, and other digital publications, and are currently moving towards full open access.
Directory of Open Access Journals is a service that provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals. DOAJ includes over 14,000 journals and over 4.6 million articles available from over 125 countries.
MIT provides access to a number of open access ebooks and journals, and very soon they will be launching a larger initiative called Direct to Open (D2O), a sustainable framework for open access books.
Are you an instructor who wants to adopt an open textbook, who feels online interactive homework is valuable, but doesn't want their students to have to pay an additional fee? Then read more about using MyOpenMath in the classroom.
SageMath is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more. Access their combined power through a common, Python-based language or directly via interfaces or wrappers.
An online platform for instructors to collaboratively create and share open exercises and lessons for Math and Statistics. Includes interactive exercises for Prealgebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Statistics.
Designed by educators, Lumen Online Homework Manager (OHM) draws from thousands of interactive assessment questions to help students master math and other quantitative skills.
The MIT Mathlets constitute a suite of carefully designed and highly interactive Javascript applets designed to enhance selected university level STEM classes.
GeoGebra is dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that brings together geometry, algebra, spreadsheets, graphing, statistics and calculus in one easy-to-use package. GeoGebra is a rapidly expanding community of millions of users located in just about every country.
Desmos includes multiple tools for use in mathematics courses, including the HTML5 Desmos graphing calculator, which millions of students around the world use for free, including students who are blind or visually-impaired. They also provide teaching activities and an activity builder for instructors using the platform.
The Math Insight web site is a collection of pages and applets designed to shed light on concepts underlying a few topics in mathematics. The focus is on qualitative description rather than getting all technical details precise.
A spinoff from the open source Sagemath, Co Calc offers a platform-specific edition of Jupyter notebooks with real-time collaboration, chat, and precise edit-history, an extensive Python stack, and additional resources for users. To integrate into a course, this requires a payment of ~$5 per student.
The WeBWorK Open Problem Library (OPL) contains problems contributed by faculty from many institutions that have used WeBWorK, an open-source online homework system for math and sciences courses. WeBWorK is supported by the MAA and the NSF. Currently, there are approximately 35,000 problems in the OPL, and new problems are added regularly.
