PsyDok was operated by the Saarland University and State Library (SULB) in its function as a library for special collections as part of the virtual library for psychology. When the special collection area psychology was given up, the library handed over the full text archive to the Leibniz Center for Psychological Information and Documentation (ZPID) in Trier.

In contrast to the institutional repository SciDok , also operated by the SULB , which is an open access platform for scientists at Saarland University , PsyDok is a so-called disciplinary repository, i.e. an offer for a specific specialist community, also beyond the German-speaking area.
PsyDok is closely interlinked with scientific evidence instruments such as those of the Center for Psychological Information and Documentation . Documents that are published on PsyDok be, in addition to the evidence in this specialized information services and interdisciplinary search stitches as Google Scholar and various other databases, such as the citation database Web Citation Index from Thomson Scientific indexed.
The establishment of PsyDok was funded by the German Research Foundation and is based on the repository software OPUS .

In addition, PsyDok reflects the metadata of psychological documents that are published in mixed institutional repositories and are made available for reference.
In addition to the scientific repositories PsyDok and SciDok, the Saarland University and State Library operates a third, free of charge server with regionally relevant documents, SaarDok .
