About the journal

The European Journal of Psychology Open publishes innovative, original, high-quality empirical papers from all fields of psychology. As the name implies, the journal has a European orientation and aims to promote modern open science practices. It also aims to promote young talents: fresh, modern, open, progressive, innovative. The journal publishes full-length original articles and brief reports describing single studies. The European Journal of Psychology Open is the official open access empirical journal of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA).

The journal invites all authors to publish their empirical work. At the same time, the editors want to encourage and mentor young talents: Associate and action editors are early career researchers who, under the expert guidance of the senior editors, will further develop their scientific journal editing skills; alongside experienced reviewers, early career reviewers will gain experience in the peer review process; and early career researchers submitting papers will be guided through the process of publishing good scientific articles and open science practices.

The journal was published as Swiss Journal of Psychology (ISSN 1421-0185) until volume 79 (2020).
