About the journal
Aims & Scope
Previously published in two sections, Human Experimental Psychology (Section A) and Comparative and Physiological Psychology (B) the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology merged in 2006 to form a single journal.
The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology is a leading international journal that publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology. The journal publishes Short Articles (under 4,000 words) as well as substantial experimental reports. Authoritative Review Articles and Theoretical Papers are also welcome. The journal offers an Open Access option, approved by the Wellcome Trust and other funders.
The journal is keen to encourage submissions across a broad range of areas in experimental psychology, including those reporting work on human and animal subjects. Manuscripts including the use of functional brain imaging are also encouraged, as are papers reporting computational modelling of behavioural data.
QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Short Articles have priority in the publication, and usually appear within a few months. Full articles appear on-line, through the iFirst system, making them available to readers several months prior to paper publication.
QJEP now offers an iOpenAccess option for authors.
Peer Review Integrity
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and refereeing by independent expert referees.

Aims and Scopes
The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology is a leading international journal that publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology. Papers of the highest standard are accepted over a wide variety of topics. The majority of papers published are substantial experimental reports. However, authoritative Review Articles and theoretical treatments are welcome, as are brief experimental reports that will be published rapidly in their own category of Short Articles.
The journal covers the areas of learning, memory, motivation and cognitive processes in both non-human and human animals. This includes studies examining the acquisition and use of knowledge about the world, the nature of such knowledge, and the relationship between knowledge and behaviour. Studies are welcome that examine associative and causal learning, attention, memory, reasoning, problem solving, decision making, mental imagery, action and motor control, perception, language and related topics. Manuscripts that examine the neural mechanisms underlying any of these psychological processes, and those that include the use of functional brain imaging techniques (e.g., fMRI, PET, EEG) are also invited. Similarly encouraged are theoretically driven experimental reports on the effects of healthy ageing, neurological damage or mental disorders within the major topic areas above, as are papers that report computational modelling of behavioural data.
The journal encourages and accepts papers from all over the world, with articles from the UK, continental Europe, North America, and elsewhere in the world. The journal is read internationally, and its contributors and editorial board are similarly international.
Readers whose institutions subscribe to the journal can access electronic preprints of articles that have been accepted for publication in iFirst, allowing early dissemination of accepted papers in advance of their appearance in the printed version of the journal.
The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology publishes original articles on any topic within the field of Experimental Psychology, in both human and non-human animals.
Ethical considerations: Research reported in this journal is expected to conform to appropriate ethical standards.
Humans: Ethical guidelines for research using human subjects are outlined in the Medical Research Council's guidelines for clinical experiments: Responsibility in Investigations on Human Subjects, British Medical Journal, 1964, 2, 178-180; or in the British Psychological Society's guidelines for non-clinical experiments: Ethical Principles for Research with Human Participants, The Psychologist, 1992, 6 (1), 33-35.
Animals: Ethical guidelines for research with animals that were prepared by the British Psychological Society and the Experimental Psychology Society can be found in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2001, 54B, 81-91. Authors of accepted manuscripts that report research with animals will be requested to submit a letter to the Editor confirming that the research was conducted in accordance with the Guidelines, and in accordance with the European Communities Council Directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC), or with the Guidelines laid down by the NIH in the US regarding the care and use of animals for experimental procedures, or with equivalent legislation in the country where the research was conducted. Guidelines for research with humans can be found in the British Medical Journal, 1964, 2, 178-180; and in The Psychologist, 1992, 6(1), 33-35.
The Editors reserve the right to reject, after consultation with the President of the Experimental Psychology Society, any paper that in their judgement contravenes these principles.
Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be submitted to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pqje
If you would like to enquire about the status of a manuscript submitted to the QJEP editorial office prior to our online submissions system, please contact Sharon Tonner at qjep@psy.gla.ac.uk
The Journal will not consider papers that are currently under consideration by other journals.
Short Articles: With the recent change in format, The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology has introduced a new category of Short Articles. The intention is to allow authors to disseminate new findings quickly, and at a relatively early stage in a research programme. Articles under 4000 words in length (including abstract), and with a limit of 20 references, will be eligible for fast review, and fast-track publication. The quid pro quo will be that reviews will be light-touch, and little feedback will be given to rejected manuscripts. ¡°Light-touch¡± here refers to the fact that reviewers will be asked to make categorical accept or reject decisions for manuscripts. Of course, the standard of the articles will have to be at least as high as those accepted through the normal route.
Decision process: Papers are normally sent out to at least two independent and anonymous reviewers. If authors wish their paper to be anonymous when reviewed, they should make this request to the editor and prepare their paper appropriately. The editor handling a paper may accept it outright, accept it subject to satisfactory revision, invite submission of a revised version without commitment, or reject the paper, with or without encouragement to submit a new paper when further work has been undertaken. The journal aims to reach an editorial decision within three months of receipt.
Publication: Accepted papers are ordinarily selected for publication in an order determined by the date of receipt of an acceptable version of the manuscript, which is printed at the end of the paper, together with the original date of submission.
Copyright: It is a condition of publication that authors vest or license copyright in their articles, including abstracts, in The Experimental Psychological Society. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and the journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors may, of course, use the material elsewhere after publication providing that prior permission is obtained from Psychology Press (on behalf of the EPS). Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.

Journal Production Editor: kate.moysen@psypress.co.uk
Format:
Manuscripts: The style and format of the typescripts should conform to the specifications given in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.).
Manuscripts should be typed throughout in double spacing, with adequate margins, and numbered throughout. British English spelling is preferred.
The title page of an article should contain only:
(1) The title of the paper, the name(s) and address(es) of the author(s)
(2) A short title not exceeding 40 letters and spaces, which will be used for page headlines
(3) Name and address of the author to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent
(4) Your telephone, fax and e-mail numbers, as this helps speed of processing considerably.
Title: The title should be as concise as possible.
Abstract: An abstract of 50-200 words should follow the title page on a separate page.
Headings: Indicate headings and subheadings for different sections of the paper clearly. Do not number headings.
Acknowledgements: These should be as brief as possible and typed on a separate page at the beginning of the text.
Permission to quote: Any quote over six manuscript lines should have formal written permission to quote from the copyright owner. It is the author's responsibility to determine whether permission is required from the copyright owner and, if so, to obtain it. (See the bottom of the page for a template of a letter seeking copyright permission.)
Footnotes: These should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Essential footnotes should be indicated by superscript figures in the text and collected in a separate section at the end of the manuscript.
Reference citations within the text: Citations in the text should be indicated with the year of publication in parentheses after the author's name, e.g., ¡°Jones and Smith (1987)¡±; alternatively, ¡°(Brown, 1982; Jones & Smith, 1987; White, Johnson, & Thomas, 1990)¡±. When a paper has been published jointly by two authors, both names should be given in the text. On first citation of references with three to six authors, give all names in full, thereafter use first author ¡°et al.¡± If more than one article by the same author(s) in the same year is cited, the letters a, b, c, etc., should follow the year. References to unpublished work should be avoided as they are of little use to readers.
Reference list: A full list of references quoted in the text should be given at the end of the paper in alphabetical order of authors' surnames (or chronologically for a group of references by the same authors), commencing as a new page, typed double spaced.
Titles of journals and books should be given in full (and in italics), together with page numbers for journal papers and chapters within edited volumes, e.g.:
Books:
Baddeley, A. D. (1999). Essentials of human memory. Hove, UK: Psychology Press.
Chapter in edited book:
Plomin, R., & Dale, P. S. (2000). Genetics and early language development: A UK study of twins. In D. V. M. Bishop & L. B. Leonard (Eds.), Speech and language impairments in children: Causes, characteristics, intervention and outcome (pp. 35-51). Hove, UK: Psychology Press.
Journal article:
Schwartz, M. F., & Hodgson, C. (2002). A new multiword naming deficit: Evidence and interpretation. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 19, 263-288.
Tables: These should be kept to the minimum. Each table should be typed double spaced on a separate page, giving the heading, e.g., ¡°Table 2¡±, in Arabic numerals, followed by the legend, followed by the table. Make sure that appropriate units are given. Instructions for placing the table should be given on a separate line of the text and centred in parentheses with a line space above and below, e.g.:
"(Table 2 about here)"
Figures: Figures should only be used when essential. The same data should not be presented both as a figure and in a table. Where possible, related diagrams should be grouped together to form a single figure. Figures should be drawn to professional standards and it is recommended that the linear dimensions of figures be approximately twice those intended for the final printed version. Each of these should be on a separate page, not integrated with the text. Make sure that axes of graphs are properly labelled, and that appropriate units are given. Dense tones should be avoided, and never combined with lettering.
Half-tone figures should be clear, highly contrasted black and white glossy prints. Black and white photographs are acceptable. Colour figures are not normally acceptable for publication in print—however, it may be possible both to print in black and white and to publish online in colour.
Figure captions: The figure captions should be typed in a separate section, headed, e.g., ¡°Figure 2¡±, in Arabic numerals. Instructions for placing the figure should be given on a separate line of the text and centred in parentheses with a line space above and below, e.g.:
"(Figure 2 about here)"
More detailed Guidelines for the preparation of figure artwork are available from the publisher: Email: kate.moysen@psypress.co.uk
Statistics: Results of statistical tests should be given in the following form:
"... results showed an effect of group, F(2, 21) = 13.74, MSE = 451.98, p .001, but there was no effect of repeated trials, F(5, 105) = 1.44, MSE = 17.70, and no interaction, F(10, 105) = 1.34, MSE = 17.70."
Other tests should be reported in a similar manner to the above example of an F -ratio. For a fuller explanation of statistical presentation, see pages 136-147 of the APA Publication Manual (5th ed.). For guidelines on presenting statistical significance, see pages 24-25.
Units: The Systeme Internationale (SI) will be used for all units. (If measures such as inches are used, then SI equivalents should be given.) If in doubt, refer to Quantities, Units and Symbols , published by the Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1 5 AG, UK.
Abbreviations: Abbreviations that are specific to a particular manuscript or to a very specific area of research should be avoided, and authors will be asked to spell out in full any such abbreviations throughout the text. Standard abbreviations such as RT for reaction time, SOA for stimulus onset asynchrony or other standard abbreviations that will be readily understood by readers of the journal are acceptable. Experimental conditions should be named in full, except in tables and figures.
After acceptance of publication in the journal
Proofs: Page proofs will be emailed to the corresponding author as a PDF attachment to check for typesetting accuracy. No changes to the original typescript will be permitted at this stage. A list of queries raised by the copy editor will be included with the proofs. Proofs should be returned promptly.
Free article access: Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website (http://www.informaworld.com/) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Reprints of articles published in this journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
Volume contents and author index: The list of contents and the author index for the whole of the year's issues are published in the last issue of the year of each journal. For the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology this is issue 12 (December).
