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 high quality empirical reports as well as theoretical and methodological papers. We encourage submissions of meta-analyses and reviews and also welcome special issue proposals.

Since many topics in social psychology are closely related to issues in other branches of psychology or, more generally, in the social sciences and humanities, the journal is open to contributions of an interdisciplinary nature.There are two categories of submission: Full-length articles should not normally exceed 8,000 words excluding tables, figures, and references. Brief research reports may be between 1,000 and 2,500 words excluding tables, figures, and references.
Soundings: An Interdisciplinary Journal
If interdisciplinary connotes anything, it should be improved communication across disciplines that fosters mutual understanding.

The Black Scholar: Journal of Black Studies and Research
Launched in the USA in 1969 The Black Scholar (TBS) is the first modern black studies and research journal. It was founded on the premise that black writers, scholars, activists and artists could participate in dialogue within its pages. TBS' primary mission has been to chronicle, analyze and debate the conditions of and the emancipatory efforts by black people, against a multitude of oppressions that include and cross class, nationality, gender, generation, sexuality, and ideology. Due in part to the impact of the journal, Black Studies, Africana Studies, Diaspora Studies and other sub-disciplines have become legitimate spaces of scholarly inquiry. However there are few public intellectual spaces that focus on black thought, are dedicated to the new multiplicity of black perspectives (or perspectives on race) that have emerged through these disciplines, and engage with the new issues and concerns facing black communities worldwide. The Black Scholar is one of those spaces. Also, our rich mix of the scholarly and the artistic, the professional and the public/non-specialist, remains rare, as is our openness to different forms and techniques of political engagement.
Building on the journal’s initial vision, TBS aims to not only “unite the academy and the street” but also participate in a global black intellectual and cultural world that has multiple contexts and a range of materials and opinions far greater than when the journal was founded. The journal continues to engage and cultivate differential black political conversations and cultural interests (African American, African, European, Latin American, for example) while maintaining its core commitment to tough minded thinking and an overall liberationist intent. This means that we welcome submissions (in English and in translation) from anywhere in the world as long as they meet the criteria articulated on our website or in the journal.
Though TBS has always engaged issues of gender, a greater focus on sexuality is a part of our reimagining; and though the journal has always focused on race, class, power and culture, such debates have to be rendered contemporary. Of particular interest are submissions about the prison industrial complex, the current, often violent re-organization of the African continent, emerging sites and forms of struggle, new forms of popular culture and art throughout the black Diaspora, new migratory patterns, technology and social media, generational differences and sometimes quite radical distinctions in opinion and ideology. All disciplines and fields are welcome as long as they appreciate the unique opportunity the journal offers - to speak to others outside one’s area. But perhaps most important, we imagine ourselves as the forum for ideas and conversations that have yet to emerge.
All research articles in the journal will undergo a rigorous peer review based on initial editor evaluation and then at least two anonymous referees. Creative or public pieces will also undergo a rigorous evaluation, but by members of our intellectual community whose work and interests are comparable to those of the work submitted.The British Journal of Criminology: An International Review of Crime and Society

1. Scientific research. TCN publishes research that is of interest to practicing clinicians, with the over-arching goal of contributing to advances in evidence-based practice. Original empirical research, meta-analyses/systematic reviews, and critical integrative reviews of clinically-relevant topics are considered. Of particular interest are studies pertaining to the following:
- neuropsychological, behavioral, and psychiatric manifestations of neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and neuropsychiatric conditions, and acquired brain disorders
- brain-behavior relationships, especially if pertaining to performance on clinical neuropsychological measures, or if pertaining to a specific disorder
- psychometrics and/or norms of clinical instruments
- forensic applications
- professional issues (e.g., credentialing, education and training, and ethics) and practice-related surveys
2. Professional discussions. TCN publishes both invited and unsolicited papers that contribute to the journal’s over-arching goal of establishing (and raising) standards of practice. These include the following:
- practice guidelines, consensus statements, and position papers that guide clinicians and clinical educators
- invited opinions, commentaries, or discussions
- book reviews (solicited by the Book Review section editor)
3. Case studies. The Grand Rounds in Clinical Neuropsychology section of the journal is devoted to single case study presentations of interesting, timely, important, or unusual cases. Cases should be instructive and focus on the contributions that competent neuropsychological assessment make in terms of (a) elucidating brain-behavior relationships, (b) determining the functional status of patients, and (c) instructing intervention, treatment, rehabilitation, education, etc. Essential elements of a case study submission include the following:
- a well-documented history of the patient
- medical/neurologic/psychiatric findings, and neuroimaging (preferred, but not required )
- detailed results of neuropsychological evaluation
- discussion of differential diagnosis and relevent treatment/management considerations
An additional online forum, in the form of an annual online supplement, aims to provide an outlet for narrow interest sound practice research that may only be of benefit to clinicians whose services are provided in the context of other languages or cultures. For more information on the online supplement and the types of articles considered, please read the TCN:OS Aims & Scope document here (PDF).
As a service to readers, select articles in each issue are available for CE credits, which are provided under the auspices of AACN via its website.
TCN and the AACN jointly sponsor a yearly competition for the best scholarly manuscript based on a student project. The winner will be announced at the AACN annual meeting (starting in 2016). The first-prize winner will receive a $1000 monetary award, and two runner-ups will receive $500 each. Read more on the Student Project Competition.
Peer Review: All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, are then peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
