John Wiley & Sons, Inc., today announced the launch of PsyCh
Journal, China’s first international psychology journal. The new
journal will be published in partnership with the Institute
of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IPCAS), China’s national
psychology research institute.
PsyCh Journal is devoted to the publication of advanced research
exploring basic mechanisms of the human mind and behavior. The journal
provides a forum for academic exchange and a “knowledge bridge” between
China and the world by showcasing high-quality, cutting-edge research
related to the science and practice of psychology both within and
outside of China.
The editors of PsyCh Journal are Lars-Göran Nilsson from
Stockholm University and Kan Zhang from IPCAS. The editorial board
consists of world-renowned psychologists from both within China and
abroad, representing a true cross-section of the global psychological
community.
“This is a very exciting time for psychology in China,” said Xiaolan Fu,
Director of IPCAS. “We are delighted to launch China’s first
international psychology journal in collaboration with Wiley. The
journal will give us the opportunity to showcase the best psychological
research from China and around the world, and will form a key part of
the Institute’s publications program.”
“PsyCh Journal is a truly ground-breaking journal, filling an
important niche in the global psychological literature,” said Philip
Carpenter, Vice President & Managing Director, Social Sciences and
Humanities, Wiley. “The journal’s launch is a milestone in the
continuing development of Chinese psychological scholarship on the world
stage, and will provide a vital platform for the dissemination of
knowledge from within China and from across the globe.”
PsyCh Journal will join Wiley’s prestigious portfolio of
international psychology titles which includes Child Development,
the top-ranked journal in educational psychology, and Personnel
Psychology.
As part of this partnership Wiley and IPCAS will inaugurate a Prize for
Excellence in Psychological Science. The prize will award $5,000 to an
outstanding Chinese author published in either PsyCh Journal or Acta
Psychologica Sinica, the Institute’s Chinese-language journal.
