- Submission status

- Submission deadline
Research has established a firm link between loneliness and various health outcomes, including mental health.
What makes people lonely, how do the experiences of lonely people differ from those of less lonely people, and what predicts whether loneliness is detrimental to health? Communications Psychology, Communications Medicine, Nature Communications and Scientific Reports invite research papers that shed light on what makes people lonely, and what loneliness means for individual experience and health.
This is a curated, selective Collection and each participating journal will apply its standard editorial criteria, including for scope and advance, to the submissions received within the Collection. Authors can choose which journal to submit to based on their own preference. The targeted journal will evaluate the submission for suitability for peer-review at the journal and, where submissions are out of scope but likely suitable for another participating journal, express a recommendation to the authors.
