The JEPS team is very excited to announce the launch of Registered Reports! Registered Reports are a new type of research article in which the editorial decision is based on peer review that takes place before data collection. The review process is thereby divided into two stages: in the first stage, the research question and methodology is evaluated, while the data is yet to be collected. The peer review of the proposed study thus only focuses on the merit of the proposed study and the adequacy of its methodology. In case of an “in-principle acceptance”, authors are guaranteed to get their final manuscript published once the data is collected - irrespective of their findings.
With this change, we hope to introduce the next generation of psychologists to progressive publishing models and good scientific practice and to help improve student research.Posted on 04 Apr 2016

As a service provided by the European Federation of Psychology Students' Associations (EFPSA), the Editorial Team came together at EFPSA's biannual meeting at end of October in Ballintoy, Northern Ireland. This meeting was extremely productive as it enabled all members of JEPS to work face-to-face and to plan ahead for the next half of the mandate.
In this process, we revised our guidelines for Authors, Associate Editors and Reviewers, in order to conform to our high scientific standards and to promote good scientific practice (e.g., publish replication studies and null-results, make data/code available, etc.). To raise the awareness about JEPS amongst European psychology students and academics, we prepared several marketing initiatives for the next half year.
With the implementation of these changes and several promotion activities ahead, we are looking forward to a successful second half of the mandate, in which we further increase both our scientific level and the popularity of JEPS.

How much time, on average, do you spend reading a typical length journal article? If your answer is less than one minute, the chances are that you have only been reading the abstract section of the article. If your answer is at least a few hours, you must have been trying to read the whole article from the title to the very last reference. The question is, are you doing it the right way?

We are happy to present the much awaited third issue of the Journal of European Psychology Students - JEPS. In our thickest issue so far you can find five research articles about ultimatum games, attachment to pets, social categorization during mediation, personality and adoption of new technologies, and the attentional blink as an indicator of sexual interest. The authors of our three literature reviews take a novel approach to Gilles de la Tourette's Syndrome, offer insight into the brain activity during pain relief through placebo or hypnosis, and revitalize the eternal "nature versus nurture" discussion in language.
The best first step in the world of science is publishing your work. Why not submit a paper of your own and become a published author?

Acknowledging the fact that psychology students would like some assistance in writing scientific texts and publishing articles, we decided to do something about it. As the editorial board of the Journal of European Psychology Students, we are cooperating with experienced authors, associate editors and reviewers and thus have an access to a great source of knowledge in the field.
The purpose of this blog is to accumulate all this knowledge and experience, and present it to the psychology students who will benefit from that when writing their manuscripts of JEPS, but as well their thesis, course works, essays and other scientific texts.
There are currently seven topics in the blog –authors'- and reviews' experiences on publishing, writing a scientific text, manuscript analysis, APA manual, publishing in scientific journals and interviews. These seven are not the final ones – we will be developing the blog continuously to make sure that with time, we would be covering all the areas of interest. Our aim is to establish a good quality medium for online knowledge and experience transfer in the field of scientific publishing. In order to achieve this aim, we welcome your contributions.
Check the blog for more information and read new posts every 1st and 15th of the month!
