Scandinavian Journal of Psychology

Aims & Scope

The Scandinavian Journal of Psychology (SJoP) is published in association with the Nordic Psychological Associations and is an international journal, available globally and welcoming submissions from around the world.

SJoP publishes six issues per annum.

The journal publishes high-quality manuscripts covering most areas of psychology and the interface of psychology with other areas such as behavioral sciences.

Sought are submissions covering experimental, applied and clinical psychology with implications for psychological theory, research, and practice.

Submission to SJoP generally should present major theoretical or methodological advancements to an international audience.

However, well-conducted and high quality replication studies as well as papers reporting null findings are welcomed.

A high rejection rate and blind peer review process ensure that the journal's contents are of consistently high quality and SJoP’s highly efficient, professional Editorial Office provides a fast turnaround for authors submitting to the journal.

Interdisciplinary in nature, SJoP is widely read by professional psychologists, academics and students worldwide.

The Scandinavian Journal of Psychology is organized into four standing subsections: - Cognition and Neurosciences - Development and Aging - Personality and Social Psychology - Health and Disability.
