Some Psychology journals have dedicated pages that provide key information about their operations, such as acceptance rates, response times, and other relevant metrics. While journals under the same publisher often follow a similar format for displaying these statistics, there is little consistency across the field. The location of these pages, the metrics provided, and even the methods of calculation can vary significantly. This lack of standardisation can make it challenging for researchers to compare journals effectively.
To address this inconsistency, any metrics that can be standardised are incorporated into the PJIP database, alongside any data that has been submitted directly to our platform by journals/publishers.
