Please note, from 2022 the Print ISSN is not in active use as this journal is no longer published in print.
The Australian Journal of Psychology is the flagship publication of the Australian Psychological Society aimed at researchers in the field of psychological science. It is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes empirical research across the full range of pure and applied topics in psychological science, including:

Cognition
Perception and Awareness
Developmental Psychology
Motivation and Emotion
Social and Personality Psychology
Industrial and Organizational Psychology
Research Methodology
Health Psychology
Psychology Education
Topics which are of interest to researchers from more than one specialist area
The Australian Journal of Psychology offers a variety of formats for paper submission, including full articles, brief articles, registered reports, and theory papers. Methodological rigour is essential for all published papers and research that is based on cutting-edge methodological techniques is particularly encouraged.
Australian Journal of Psychology operates a double anonymized peer review policy.

The manuscript and peer-review reports may be transferred to one of the other journals of the Australian Psychological Society ( Australian Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, or Educational and Developmental Psychologist) if the scope of the paper is not found suitable for publication in the Australian Journal of Psychology, but is suitable for these other journals. Authors will receive a notification if their manuscript is being considered for transfer, and at that time can decide if they want to pursue the transfer. If authors do NOT wish to be considered for transfer to an alternative journal after rejection for this journal, this should be noted in the cover letter.
