The European Journal of Health Psychology was founded to provide a platform for the increasing amount of research in the field of health psychology and for its application in a wide range of contexts. Health psychology is a scientific discipline within psychology that aims to promote and preserve health, to prevent and treat diseases, to determine risk behavior, to diagnose and determine the causes of health disorders, and to improve health provision. The European Journal of Health Psychology strives to promote theory and practice in the analysis of psychological approaches to health and disease. The aim is therefore to publish high quality empirical or experimental research as well as sound practice-oriented articles, current methodological developments, and comprehensive critical reviews of the scientific literature. The journal has been publishing high-quality, innovative research since 1993 (until volume 24 as "Zeitschrift für Gesundheitspsychologie" (ISSN 0943-8149)).
The European Journal of Health Psychologyis archived with Portico.
Peer Review Week: Recognition For Reviewers
Hogrefe journals collaborate with the Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service to support reviewers and ensure they receive the recognition they deserve for their peer review contributions. The Reviewer Recognition Service enables contributors to track, verify, and showcase their work for promotion and use in funding applications. It is seamlessly integrated into each journal’s Editorial Manager system so reviewers can opt-in to have their completed reviews automatically added to the Web of Science Researcher Profile. Read more on Hogrefe’s recognition for reviewers and find out how to create a Web of Science Researcher profile here.
