Guidelines for Guest Editors of thematic issues

The proposal

If you are interested in publishing a thematic issue with PSiCL, we ask you to send us a proposal. It should contain the following information:

  • A statement of where the idea for the thematic issue comes from, and if it Is related to a conference thematic session.
  • A list of planned contributors (at least three).
  • (If the papers are already there:) abstracts of all contributions.

The proposal should be approximately 300 words long, and supplemented with a list of references.

PSiCL reviewers

Thematic issues invited

Since volume 43(1) (August 2007), PSiCL has been published not only in hard copy but also online. We started online publication in co-operation with Versita Ltd, then the exclusive partner for Central and Eastern Europe of MetaPress, a partner of Springer, and later (since 2012) part of De Gruyter. Today, we are published directly by De Gruyter.

PSiCL now distributed by de Gruyter

We are extremely happy to announce that, starting with vol. 47(1), PSiCL is published by the renowned scientific publisher de Gruyter. (See also a letter from our Editor-in-Chief, Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk.)

Follow this link to read PSiCL at de Gruyter. 

Older back issues (up to vol. 46) are available from our archive.

Review procedure

Once the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Team are satisfied that a submission falls within the scope of PSiCL, and that it complies with our submission guidelines, a double-blind peer review process is initiated. (If the Editor-in-Chief concludes otherwise, the submission will be desk-rejected and will not enter the reviewing process below.)
