Emotion and language
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
The Editors at Communications Psychology, Nature Communications, and Scientific Reports invite submissions from psychology and related disciplines on the interplay between emotion and language.
On the one hand, the Collection will feature content that studies how emotion, mood, or related traits and disorders are reflected in people’s language; on the other, it contains research studying how language is a key component of emotion regulation, including adaptive strategies in the context of regulating mood disorders. Primary research in this domain may be applied or theory-oriented and come for example from clinical psychology, social and affective neuroscience/psychology, neuropsychology, and psycholinguistics.
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.
