Journal Scope Statement
Canadian Psychology publishes generalist articles in areas of theory, research, practice, education, and policy that are of interest to a broad cross-section of psychologists. The journal publishes systematic reviews (including meta-analyses) and literature reviews relevant to theory or research in basic and applied areas – for example, human and non-human neurosciences, cognitive, perception, history and theoretical systems, quantitative, developmental, social, personality, clinical, counselling, educational and school, industrial/organizational, community, as well as teaching and learning.
Original, empirical contributions are welcome if large-scale work is involved and the research is of direct relevance to the discipline as a whole.
Commentaries and articles discussing professional issues and case material illustrative of theoretical principles or professional problems are also appropriate. In all cases, the manuscript should be of relevance to a generalist audience and discuss implications for the field.
Graduate Student Reviewer Mentorship Program
Manuscripts with direct relevance to the Canadian context are also welcome for submission; authors should ensure that the article speaks to the broad interest. Canadian Psychology/Psychologie canadienne accepts submissions in either English or French.

“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.”
