North American Journal of Psychology

The North American Journal of Psychology publishes scientific papers that are of general interest to psychologists and other social scientists. Papers may encompass a wide variety of topics, methods, and strategies. Field studies, review papers, meta-analyses, qualitative studies, laboratory experiments, and correlational studies all have a place in NAJP. However, as a general rule top priority will be given to those papers in which authors have done a good job of ruling out alternative explanations for their conclusions, and demonstrating relevance and interest to a broad audience.

Papers are welcome within each area of psychology and that span more than one. Our readers should be able to obtain a "snapshot" of the field of psychology in each issue.

Particularly welcome are:

¥ papers with real-world implications which readers can see

¥ papers on topics that are "unpopular" in mainline journals

¥ papers on the teaching of psychology

¥ papers that bridge or integrate areas of psychology

¥ brief reports with more limited goals

¥ psychometric data on psychological measures

¥ well done replications of prior studies, even with negative results
