Editorial work should not be a blackbox that leaves authors guessing for reasons. Here, we discuss what Communications Psychology’s evaluation criteria for research Articles are so authors can understand the decision-making surrounding when and why we send papers out for peer review.
The aim of Communications Psychology is to promote open research across all areas of psychology. We are looking forward to working with researchers to publish high-quality research; to offer the community an accessible platform for review and debate; and to shape our practices to serve a field embracing open science.
