Scandinavian Journal of Psychology

The Scandinavian Journal of Psychology (SJoP) is published in association with the Nordic Psychological Associations and is an international journal, available globally and welcoming submissions from around the world. SJoP publishes six issues per annum. The journal publishes high-quality manuscripts covering most areas of psychology and the interface of psychology with other areas such as behavioral sciences. Sought are submissions covering experimental, applied and clinical psychology with implications for psychological theory, research, and practice. Submission to SJoP generally should present major theoretical or methodological advancements to an international audience. However, well-conducted and high quality replication studies as well as papers reporting null findings are welcomed. A high rejection rate and blind peer review process ensure that the journal's contents are of consistently high quality and SJoP’s highly efficient, professional Editorial Office provides a fast turnaround for authors submitting to the journal. Interdisciplinary in nature, SJoP is widely read by professional psychologists, academics and students worldwide. The Scandinavian Journal of Psychology is organized into four standing subsections: - Cognition and Neurosciences - Development and Aging - Personality and Social Psychology - Health and Disability.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
