Using Hypothesis to annotate APA articles and book chapters

APA has teamed up with Hypothesisopens in new window, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development and spread of open, standards-based annotation technologies and practices, enabling anyone to annotate anywhere.

Users can make their annotations private or public, encouraging potential discussion and collaboration.

Hypothesis allows authors to add additional insights about their work directly on the published article or book chapter.

If made public by the author, the notes are visible to all users of Hypothesis, which creates a dynamic environment facilitating discussion and collaboration.

Using Hypothesis not only allows authors to keep track of their work, it enables others to ask questions, engage in discussions, and gain an additional perspective about the research.

The video, Using Hypothesis: American Psychological Associationopens in new window, provides a walkthrough of how to annotate an article within the APA PsycNet platform.
