New to SAGE in 2019

The Archive for the Psychology of Religion is the flagship journal for the International Association for the Psychology of Religion. It originated as the Archiv für Religionspsychologie in 1914, establishing it as the oldest periodical in the field. This English-language journal publishes three issues per year, with articles appearing online before the editors assign them to an issue.

Psychological theories, principles, and applications form the core emphases of the journal. Contributions are welcomed when they are thoroughly grounded in either quantitative or qualitative methodologies. Ideally, articles are historically situated, critical, and generative. Likewise, given the journal’s global mission, submissions that clearly articulate and represent diverse cultural perspectives are highly valued. Articles that utilize insights from other disciplines are encouraged to the extent that those observations promote more thorough understandings of central psychological elements.

Multiple submission types are possible within three primary sections: Theory (major reviews, conceptual development), Research (theory testing, reports), and Pedagogy (tutorials, historical notes). The Archive contains both invited and submitted material, including occasional target articles and responses. Authors may propose Special Issues to the Editor at any time.
