What article types do you accept?

advances.in/psychology publishes several article formats. Each has its own word limit and conventions; the full author guidelines have the precise specifications.

Accepted formats

• Empirical research articles — original studies reporting new findings.
• Research reports / data reports — concise empirical contributions or stand-alone dataset papers.
• Reviews — systematic reviews, narrative reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews.
• Methods papers — statistical or methodological contributions, including software/library descriptions.
• Perspectives and editorials — invited or unsolicited commentary on the state of a field.
• Commentaries — short critical responses to previously published work. Commentaries undergo editorial (rather than external) peer review.

What we will not consider

• Multiple submissions — a manuscript under consideration elsewhere.
• Previously published work, or work that largely resembles content already published (beyond what's customary for preprints/theses; see our repository policy).

Originality is required, and all authors must comply with our authorship criteria.
