Journals

Perspectives on Psychological Science Call for Editorial Proposals

Rather than the traditional call for editor nominations, we are inviting scholars to submit their vision for a new editorial approach to APS’s journal, Perspectives on Psychological Science. This requires not only the editorial philosophy that any editor candidate might submit, but also a vision for the design of the editorial structure and peer review process by which the journal will operate. 

Perspectives is a unique journal and the opportunity to relaunch it provides an opening for a unique set of editorial practices.  Rather than envision this approach in a top-down way, APS is seeking proposals that support innovation. We are open to creative visions for the journal, including how a new approach ensures the highest quality editorial process for all submissions, including the kinds of conceptual, opinion-based, and otherwise nontraditional article types that are unique to Perspectives.

The deadline for proposal submissions is June 1, 2024.
