Other initiatives included
a) George Sik created a 108 strong data set on recent research and publications with key word indexing.
b) Individual psychologists were also commissioned to write reviews of their particular fields (Criminological and Legal, Cognitive, Developmental, Occupational, Social and Physiological psychology). The Committee then tried to publish extracts and/or summaries or reviews from the Benefits of Psychology archive in a number of BPS journals but were not generally successful.
