What are Research Instruments?
Research instruments can be tests, surveys, scales, questionnaires, or even checklists.
To assure the strength of your study, it is important to use previously validated instruments!
Getting Started
Already know the full name of the instrument you're looking for?
Finding a research instrument can be very time-consuming!
