History

In 1947, the board of directors of the publishing company Annual Reviews asked a number of psychologists if it would be useful to have a journal that published an annual volume of review articles that summarized recent developments in the field. Responses were very positive, so in September 1947 they announced that the first volume of the Annual Review of Psychology would be published in 1950. Previous attempts to establish such a journal in the early 1940s were stymied by World War II, which hampered international scientific communication.[2] Its first editor was Calvin Perry Stone.[3] As of 2020, it was published both in print and electronically. Some of its articles are available online in advance of the volume's publication date.[4]

It defines its scope as covering vartious aspects of psychology, including human behavioral ecology, sensation and perception, cognition, animal learning and behavior, clinical psychology, psychopathology, developmental psychology, social psychology, personality, environmental psychology, and community psychology.[5] As of 2019, Journal Citation Reports lists the journal's impact factor as 18.156, ranking it second of 77 journal titles in the category "Psychology (Science)" and third of 138 titles in the category "Psychology, Multidisciplinary (Social Science)".[1] It is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Academic Search, among others.[6]

Editorial processes

The Annual Review of Psychology is helmed by the editor. The editor is assisted by the editorial committee, which includes associate editors, regular members, and occasionally guest editors. Guest members participate at the invitation of the editor, and serve terms of one year. All other members of the editorial committee are appointed by the Annual Reviews board of directors and serve five-year terms. The editorial committee determines which topics should be included in each volume and solicits reviews from qualified authors.[7] Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted. Peer review of accepted manuscripts is undertaken by the editorial committee.[8]
