Goals for our tenure as Editors-in-Chief of EJSP (2027-2029)

We are honoured to take over the editorship of the European Journal of Social Psychology (EJSP) and grateful to the EASP Executive Committee for their trust. Our starting point is that EJSP should serve as a home for the full breadth of social psychology. We come from different traditions within the field, namely interpersonal processes, intergroup relations, and social cognition, and we see this diversity as a genuine strength of our team. We want it to be visible in the journal as well, and while continuing to welcome the full range of work that has long found a home at EJSP, we will actively encourage contributions from areas that have been comparatively underrepresented in recent years.

Methodological rigor will be the common standard we apply across all submissions. We welcome experimental and non-experimental work, quantitative and qualitative approaches, and we equally value research on socially consequential phenomena and research that advances understanding of basic social processes. What we do require, regardless of approach, is that claims are calibrated to what the design and data can support, and that scope conditions are stated honestly.

During our tenure, we intend to formally launch Registered Reports at EJSP, to actively encourage high-quality meta-analyses and systematic reviews, and to build on the journal’s existing commitments to open science. We will also work to sustain the review process in which authors receive timely and decisive feedback and associate editors take genuine ownership of the papers they handle.
