Journal of Psychedelic Studies

Aims & Scope

The journal seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of information about psychedelic substances and the biological, neurochemical and psychological changes they facilitate, as well as their social implications.

The broad scope of the journal includes different approaches to the pharmacological modification of consciousness, as well as research reports on psychedelic experiences; it also examines the therapeutic potential of these substances, as well as their cultural implications.

The journal accepts case reports, case series, original research, meta-analyses, reviews of the literature, and book reviews of topics ranging from psychopharmacology, neurobiology and psychology to philosophy, sociology and anthropology.

The journal's philosophy is grounded in biology and psychology, but it is also open to considerations of spirituality and religion.
