Final journal articles
Use as the primary public evidence, with the exact study population and findings.

Evidence · Research and publications
A research library organised by evidence status—not by volume.
Published studies, author proofs, working manuscripts, and internal records are separated so that preliminary material is never presented as final journal evidence.
Several papers reuse or overlap the same cohorts; participant counts should not be added without a verified cohort register.
Evidence hierarchy
Not every document in a research archive carries the same weight.
The research library separates final journal publications, journal author proofs, working manuscripts, internal summaries, technical records, and instrument drafts. This prevents preliminary or duplicated material from being presented as independent published evidence.
The current archive catalogue identifies six final published journal articles, two journal author proofs, several working manuscripts, and internal evidence documents used for synthesis and programme history.
Accepted-stage material
Potentially valuable, but publication details and proof corrections must be resolved.
Research in development
Useful for future publication and analysis, but not yet a final journal record.
Technical or synthesis material
Supports programme understanding but should not replace a primary citation.
Published evidence
Final journal articles identified in the research catalogue
Several papers draw on the same underlying student cohort. They represent different analyses, not automatically different participant populations.
Development and Validation of Novel Mental Health Assessment Scales for Students (MASS) in India
Primary development, factor-validation, and reliability paper for the original multidimensional battery.
Validity of the Scale for Psychological Stress for University Students
Focused psychometric evaluation of the SPS-13 stress scale.
A Study of Clinical Psychopathology of University Students Using Multidimensional, Digitalised Psychometric Tools in Mumbai
Reports domain-level findings and triage outcomes in a 442-student engineering cohort.
Student Mental Health Screening: A Multidimensional, Digital Approach for Facilitating Early Intervention
Examines the additional value of a broader assessment beyond stress-only screening.
Defining Complicated Stress: How Much Is Too Much?
Explores the relationship among stress, resilience, functioning, and more complex distress.
Identification of Risk for Mental Health Conditions with a Digital Application
Reports multicentre risk classification and clinical concordance work in 600 students.
Author proofs
Promising evidence that still requires publication-stage care
The archive contains two Annals of Indian Psychiatry author proofs. One concerns known-group and clinical-comparison validation; the other compares brief and multidimensional test batteries. Proof values and final bibliographic details should be checked before public statistical claims are drawn from them.
Digital Mental Health Screening Among Indian University Students
Known-group validation involving student and psychiatric comparison groups.
Evaluation of Two versus Six Psychometric Test Batteries
Comparison of referral outputs and implementation efficiency in a 600-student dataset.
Research pipeline
Work in progress remains visible—but clearly labelled.
Working material includes adult-scale development, digital-versus-psychiatrist comparison manuscripts, a detailed multicentre manuscript, and prospective evaluation planning for RELIEF PLUS.
Internal summaries are useful for explaining the programme. They are not substitutes for journal papers, frozen instrument versions, raw datasets, statistical outputs, ethics records, or final clinical-reference documentation.
