As can be seen in her C.V., a number of Dr. Randolph's publications have been in peer review journals, or have been chapters in books that were edited by a peer review committee. Dr. Randolph is currently working on several articles that will be submitted to peer review journals, and didn't have time to write or submit these articles during the past 5 years, as she has been writing three books, and developing three new psychological tests. All of Dr. Randolph's research has been conducted according to the research standards for the American Psychological Association, and her research when developing the tests that she has developed is widely accepted by her professional peers as having adequate reliability and validity estimates.
