Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology

ISSN: 0193-3973
5 Year impact factor: 3.2
Impact factor: 2.2

The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology (JADP) publishes scholarly empirical research relating to human development. The Journal focuses on two key concepts: human development and application of knowledge. Human development refers to the transformations and changes that occur during the life cycle and the processes or mechanisms which influence individuals' behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and moral development. Application refers to how the knowledge gained from research can be applied to the improvement of developmental outcomes, such as through policy making or within educational, clinical, and social settings. Consequently, papers published in JADP explicitly articulate how findings can be applied to improving the lives of children, youth and young adults. JADP publishes studies on a broad array of social issues and contexts (e.g., differences in cultural, racial, social and learning contexts) that impact human development.Please see our Guide for Authors for more information.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Journal of Choice Modelling

ISSN: 1755-5345
5 Year impact factor: 3.5
Impact factor: 2.8

The Journal of Choice Modelling publishes theoretical and applied papers in the field of choice modelling. Papers are expected to either make a methodological contribution to the field, or to present an innovative application. The journal is not limited to one area of study, such as transport or marketing, but invites contributions from across a range of disciplines where the analysis of choice behaviour is a topic of interest. While the majority of papers focus on the use of discrete choice models, contributions looking at other methods are also welcome. Similarly, the Journal of Choice Modelling also welcomes contributions looking at survey design.In addition to standard full length research papers, JOCM also welcomes four other types of submissions:Research notesThese are shorter articles that can be technical notes addressing a specific model specification, survey design, data collection or estimation issue or discussion pieces highlighting a particular concern in applied work. No specific length limit is imposed, but potential authors may wish to look at volume 21 as an example for such articles.Research notes are subject to the normal blind refereeing process to maintain the high standards of the journal.Software papersThese are papers presenting software for choice model estimation and/or application as well as packages for survey design and data collection. These need to be substantial pieces of software that either improve on existing tools available, emulate them in a different environment and are likely to lead to widespread use. This type of paper is meant to provide readers with new tools for their work, rather than serve as a marketing device. The expectation is that the vast majority of papers submitted will report on free (open access) software. While we do not rule out papers discussing commercial software, an explicit case will have to be made to the editors as to why the article is of interest to the broad JOCM readership.Software papers will be reviewed initially by associate editors who may additionally rely on the advice of other experts in the field.Data papersThese are either papers reporting on innovative data collection efforts or papers describing datasets that can be used for model benchmarking. For innovative data collection papers, there is no requirement to make the data publicly available (although it is preferred) as long as the paper provides useful insights for other studies. For benchmark datasets, public access is required. Datasets can be deposited on the JOCM website, existing data repositories and/or websites administered by the authors. Long term maintenance of the sites should be guaranteed. Data papers should discuss the survey approach taken, highlight any novel elements, and in the case of data made publicly available, should include an online data dictionary.Data papers will be reviewed initially by associate editors who may additionally rely on the advice of other experts in the field.For data papers to be considered for publication, authors need to show that their work is relevant beyond their own topic area.Review papersThese are full length articles that review the literature in a specific area of research within the scope of JOCM. While literature review papers are not expected to include new research, they should provide new knowledge or thinking in terms of providing insightful overviews or critiques of existing work and highlighting gaps in that work. Cross- disciplinary review papers are especially welcome.Review papers are subject to the normal blind refereeing process to maintain the high standards of the journal.Discussion papersThese are full length articles that discuss current issues in choice modelling, set research agendas, or provide an outlook for the field. Cross-disciplinary review papers are especially welcome.

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization

Journal of Economic Psychology

ISSN: 0167-4870
5 Year impact factor: 3.1
Impact factor: 2.5

Research in Economic Psychology and Behavioral Economics Affiliated with the International Association for Research in Economic PsychologyThe Journal aims to present research that will improve understanding of behavioral, in particular psychological, aspects of economic decisions and processes. It is published under the auspices of the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology (http://www.iarep.org), whose aim is to promote interdisciplinary work relating to economic behavior.The Journal seeks to be a channel for the increased interest in using behavioral science methods for the study of economic behavior, and so to contribute to better solutions of societal problems, by stimulating new approaches and new theorizing about economic affairs. Economic psychology as a discipline studies the psychological mechanisms that underlie economic behavior. It deals with decisions (individual or interactive), preferences, judgments, and factors influencing these, as well as the consequences of judgments and decisions for economics and society. Studies in economic psychology usually relate to the individual decision maker's level, though sometimes also address household or group behavior.Historically, economic psychology has developed as a branch of psychology, while behavioral economics has risen as a sub-field of economics. Consequentially, for example, rationality assumptions have been traditionally avoided in economic psychology. Lately, however these differences are disappearing. We welcome any behavioral economics study to the journal of economic psychology. We also explicitly welcome studies in related domains including neuroeconomics, consumer psychology, voter psychology, and behavioral game theory, as long as they make a strong contribution to the understanding of psychological processes implicated in economic behavior and decisions.Additionally, we welcome submissions from traditional areas of economic psychology, including psychological aspects associated with inflation, unemployment, poverty, taxation, economic development, economic literacy, personal finance, and market behavior.The Journal of Economic Psychology contains: (a) Research articles: novel reports of empirical (field or experimental) research with a significant contribution to relevant theory; (b) brief reports: Empirical contributions (e.g., robustness tests), re-examinations and re-analyses, as well as short formal-analytical contributions linked to well-established empirical phenomena; (c) replication studies; (d) extensive reviews of state of the art topics in economic psychology; and (e) book reviews.Special issues of the Journal may be devoted to themes of particular interest. Typically, an open call for proposals for a special issue is announced once per year.
