JPSP Topic Selection & Section Routing
Evaluates research projects for theoretical contribution and correct section routing within the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP).
The JPSP Topic Selection skill helps psychology researchers evaluate whether a manuscript or research project meets the high theoretical contribution and multi-study standards of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP). It provides systematic guidance to route submissions into the appropriate independently edited JPSP section—Attitudes and Social Cognition (ASC), Interpersonal Relations and Group Processes (IRGP), or Personality Processes and Individual Differences (PPID)—while comparing fit against alternative sibling journals like Psychological Science, PSPB, and JESP to prevent costly desk rejections.
