Journal Guide

Social Psychology of Education draws from the disciplines of psychology, sociology, and education in order to help us better understand human behavior in education. The journal fills a gap in the literature by covering a wide variety of content concerns (e.g., classroom instruction, student cultures and interactions), theoretical interests (e.g., group dynamics, social learning theory), and research methods (e.g., comparative research, literature reviews, panel studies). Articles are of particular value to social psychologists with an interest in educational matters and educational researchers who use or are interested in using a social psychological approach.We are pleased to announce that Social Psychology of Education has been accepted in March 2012 by Thomson Reuters (formerly ISI), for inclusion in the Social Sciences Citation Index®, Journal Citation Reports/ Social Sciences Edition, and Current Contents®/Social and Behavioral Sciences.

Souls: A Critical Journal of Black Politics, Culture, and Society is a quarterly interdisciplinary journal sponsored by the Institute for Research in African-American Studies at Columbia University.

The South African Journal of Psychology publishes contributions in English from all fields of psychology. While the emphasis is on empirical research, the Journal also accepts theoretical and methodological papers, review articles, short communications, reviews and letters containing fair commentary. Priority is given to articles which are relevant to Africa and which address psychological issues of social change and development.

This multidisciplinary journal is based on the assumption that the critical issues pertaining to spatial cognition and computation lie at the intersection of a number of disciplines--in particular, cognitive psychology, computer science, geography, neuropsychology, and artificial intelligence. Recent years have seen a growth in the desire of these communities to share insights and results. The aim of the journal is to concentrate the presentation of research into spatial cognition and computation, and to explicitly foster an interdisciplinary dialogue. Spatial Cognition and Computation encourages the submission of articles on any topic in the area of spatial cognition and spatial computation. Research articles, empirical studies, integrative reviews of the literature, and shorter opinion pieces will be considered for publication.Specific topics within the scope of the journal:cognitive and computational models of spatial cognition;navigation, environmental learning, and cognitive mapping; cognitive development and representation of large scale space;common sense and qualitative models of space;robot navigation and wayfinding;models and applications of spatial and diagrammatic reasoning;visual languages, sign language, or visualization and spatial cognition;cognitive theories of imageries and imaginal reasoning;integration of vision and natural language processing;representation and processing of spatial expressions and crosslinguistic issues in spatial language;gestural analysis and multimodal interfaces; andnavigation and orientation in virtual environments and hypermedia.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

The journal Stress aims to provide scientists involved in basic stress research with the possibility of reading a more integrated view of the field. Peer reviewed papers, invited reviews and short communications will deal with interdisciplinary aspects of stress in terms of: the mechanisms of stressful stimulation, including within and between individuals; the physiological and behavioural responses to stress, and their regulation, in both the short and long term; adaptive mechanisms, coping strategies and the pathological consequences of stress.Stress will publish the latest developments in physiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics research, immunology, and behavioural studies as they impact on the understanding of stress and its adverse consequences and their amelioration.Specific approaches may include transgenic animals, developmental/programming studies, electrophysiology, histochemistry, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy, endocrinology, autonomic physiology, immunology, chronic pain, ethological and other behavioural studies and clinical measures.

Estudios de Psicología publishes articles of empirical research, methodological innovation, and theoretical debate in the frontier of psychological knowledge. Among others, examples of articles in the frontier of psychology are those that allow for a new understanding of a psychological phenomenon, that soundly and originally criticize a mainstream theory, that defy the discipline’s commonly accepted knowledge, that propose original experimental paradigms, different to those widely accepted by the academic community of the normal science… Its main goal is thus to provide a dialogue forum both between psychological sub-disciplines, and between psychology and other related disciplines.

In order to foster approaches that delve deep into psychology's most relevant trends and developments, as of 2014 Estudios de Psicología will only accept manuscripts whose content and approach follows the guidelines indicated in the journal’s current calls for monographic issues, regardless of whether these calls have been issued by the journal Editor or by Invited Editors who have submitted a monographic proposal according to the journal’s Instructions For Authors.

Estudios de Psicología will be of interest to researchers and graduate students working in psychology and related disciplines, and psychologists working in both applied fields and academia.

Estudios de Psicología publica artículos de investigación empírica, innovación metodológica y debate teórico en la frontera del conocimiento psicológico. Entre otros, se pueden considerar ejemplos de artículos en la frontera de la psicología aquellos que permitan comprender de manera novedosa un fenómeno psicológico, que critiquen alguna teoría de corriente principal de manera fundada y original, que desafíen el conocimiento común de la disciplina, que propongan paradigmas experimentales originales, diferentes de los aceptados por la comunidad de académicos de la ciencia normal... Su objetivo prioritario es por tanto constituirse en un espacio de diálogo, tanto entre diferentes subdisciplinas psicológicas, como entre la psicología y otras formas de conocimiento próximas a ella.

Con el fin de promover el tratamiento en profundidad de las líneas de desarrollo más relevantes de nuestra disciplina, a partir de 2014 Estudios de Psicología solo aceptará artículos cuyo contenido y enfoque siga las pautas marcadas por las convocatorias vigentes de temas monográficos, ya sean planteados por el Editor de la revista o por Editores Invitados que hayan enviado una propuesta, según el esquema que se expone en las Instrucciones Para Autores. Estudios de Psicología va dirigida a investigadores y estudiantes de doctorado en psicología y disciplinas afines, psicólogos de ámbitos tanto académicos como aplicados.
