“Psychology journals need to be more than repositories for psychological findings and forums exclusively for psychologists and allied professionals: They must also ensure that what psychology can contribute to society at large is readily transferable to and accessible by the wider public. Thus, the true impact of Canadian Psychology will be not just how psychology as a science and a profession is served by the published articles but also how the world at large is informed about and benefits from the knowledge presented in the journal.”
—Don Saklofske, PhD
Editor of Canadian Psychology
“In addition to preserving its history, I am interested in broadening CJEP’s scope in a few ways. I would like to see submissions that address, among other topics, developmental phenomena, comparative cognition, and cognitive neuroscience approaches, as well as work that advances cognitive theory through the study of diverse populations or applied real-world social or technological challenges. I believe the journal can benefit from the contributions of authors and reviewers who have a wide variety of lived experiences and for their articles to address experimental questions about cognitive or perceptual phenomena that are relevant to these diverse experiences and perspectives.”
—Debra Titone, PhD
Editor of the Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology
