Canadian Journal of School Psychology

Aims & Scope

The Canadian Journal of School Psychology (CJSP) publishes original articles focusing on the interface between psychology and education.

Papers reflect theory, research, and the practice of school and educational psychology.

Contemporary book and test reviews are also regularly published.

The journal is aimed at psychology practitioners in broadly defined educational settings; but is also of relevance to university trainers, researchers, graduate students in school and applied areas of psychology, and allied professionals.

CJSP has become the major reference for practicing school and applied psychologists and students in graduate educational and school psychology programs in Canada, but has more recently broadened its content coverage to be more reflective of school psychology in the international context.

Articles will be accepted and published in English and French.
