About the journal
About this Journal
The International Review of Social Psychology publishes empirical research and theoretical notes in all areas of social psychology. The IRSP emphasizes the scientific quality of its publications in every areas of social psychology. Submitted papers are reviewed by international experts. The journal was created to reflect research advances in a field where theoretical and fundamental questions inevitably convey social significance and implications. It is supported by ADRIPS.
Focus and Scope
The International Review of Social Psychology (IRSP) is supported by the Association pour la Diffusion de la Recherche Internationale en Psychologie Sociale (A.D.R.I.P.S.).
The International Review of Social Psychology publishes empirical research and theoretical notes in all areas of social psychology. Articles are written preferably in English but can also be written in French.
The journal was created to reflect research advances in a field where theoretical and fundamental questions inevitably convey social significance and implications. It emphasizes scientific quality of its publications in every area of social psychology. Any kind of research can be considered, as long as the results significantly enhance the understanding of a general social psychological phenomenon and the methodology is appropriate.
Special Collections
IRSP publishes thematic special collections that are edited by Guest Editors (GEs). Suggestions originate from the IRSP itself as well as from researchers interested in editing a special collection. Please note that a special collection is not a general introduction about a given topic but a set of original contributions which should clearly add to the field or topic area. Papers should report original data, meta-analysis, or possibly theoretical pieces that go beyond merely summarizing a research area. The aim is to provide a contribution that could not be confused with chapters having a didactical purpose. Special collections will appear exclusively in English.
The GEs provide the IRSP editorial board with a summary of the topic of the special collection (1 page maximum) as well as the names and affiliations of the GEs. There will be between two and four GEs, who must be from different countries. A preliminary decision concerning the special collection will be based on this information. In case of acceptance, the GEs are in charge of the whole review process on behalf of the IRSP. They will be asked to use the online editorial management system of the journal. This review process is expected to be of high quality. A special issue usually contains 6-7 papers (including the introduction, only if judged necessary). The special issue will be publicly advertised and a call for papers will be made. Invited papers should be an exception. The GEs should commit to respecting the deadlines. Upon acceptance by the guest editors, each paper is transferred to the chief editors, who make a final decision. Hence, IRSP reserves the right to reject one or more manuscripts that would be judged below the journal’s standards. At the special issue delivery, GEs will provide reviewers list and their institutional affiliation. Please note that each GE cannot be the author or co-author of more than 1 papers of the special issue and GEs cannot appear as authors or co-authors in more than 50% of the papers. Papers can be published sequentially as they are accepted. For editorial details, please contact IRSP chief editors.

Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
Submissions should be made electronically through this website.
Please ensure that you consider the following guidelines when preparing your manuscript. Failure to do so may delay the processing of your submission.
The submitted manuscripts should follow the rules of the APA style manual (6th ed.).
Article types
Research articles must be up to a maximum of 10,000 words in length, including title, abstract, keywords, notes, references, table and figure legends. These articles may be empirical, meta-analytical or theoretical and must provide a significant contribution to the understanding of social phenomena. Authors of regular articles will be informed of the decision within 8 weeks of submission.
Short Research Note must be between 1,500 and 3,000 words in length, including title, abstract, keywords, notes, references, table and figure legends, with an abstract of no more than 150 words. These articles must report on original empirical research. The SRN will receive peer review within 6 weeks of submission. Please note that authors will receive minimal feedback on submissions. SRN will only be accepted if the report does not require major revision. SRN have to be submitted in English.
Registered Reports are a form of empirical article in which the methods and proposed analyses are pre-registered and reviewed prior to research being conducted. This format of article seeks to neutralise a variety of inappropriate research practices, including inadequate statistical power, selective reporting of results, and publication bias. The review process for Registered Reports is divided into two stages. In Stage 1, reviewers assess study proposals before data is collected. In Stage 2, reviewers consider the full study, including results and interpretation. Full guidelines are available at https://www.rips-irsp.com/about/registered-reports/. The final publication must not exceed 10,000 words in length.
All word counts are inclusive of the abstract, notes, references, and table and figure legends.
Replication Studies:
IRSP can consider replication studies when:
1) The replication concerns a study that has had a significant impact on the literature
2) It informs about the generality of an effect (e.g., replications conducted on a different population)
3) It is informed by an a priori power analysis and preferably includes a pre-registration (see Brandt et al., 2014).

Data:
The journal encourages authors to make their research data openly available via an appropriate repository to aid replication and/or use of research material. Authors must include a “data accessibility statement” before the reference list. This statement should provide a link to the data and material used in the study, that can be stored in an online repository (such as the Open Science Framework, osf.io). If this is not possible, authors must provide a justification. In addition, for authors who have pre-registered studies, please ensure that details and links are accessible for the peer review process..
Structure
Title page
The title page must include all of the below information, in the same order. No further information should be included:
Title
Full author name(s)
Affiliation(s)
Corresponding author’s email address (other author email addresses are optional)
Author names must include a forename and a surname. Forenames cannot include only initials.
J. Bloggs is not permitted. The full name, Joe Bloggs is required
The affiliation should ideally include ‘Department, Institution, City, Country’, however only the Institution and Country are mandatory.
Abstract
Research articles must have the main text prefaced by an abstract of no more than 250 words summarising the main arguments and conclusions of the article. This must have the heading ‘Abstract’ and be easily identified from the start of the main text.
A list of up to six key words may be placed below the abstract.
The Abstract and Keywords should also be added to the metadata when making the initial online submission.
Main text
The body of the submission should be structured in a logical and easy to follow manner. A clear introduction section should be given that allows non-specialists in the subject an understanding of the publication and a background of the issue(s) involved. Methods, results, discussion and conclusion sections may then follow to clearly detail the information and research being presented.
Up to three level headings may be present and must be clearly identifiable using different font sizes, bold or italics. We suggest using Headings 1, 2 and 3 in MS-Word’s ‘Style’ section.
Acknowledgements (optional)
Any acknowledgements must be headed and in a separate paragraph, placed after the main text but before the reference list.
Competing interests
If any of the authors have any competing interests then these must be declared. A short paragraph should be placed before the references. Guidelines for competing interests can be found here.
Ethics and consent (if applicable)
The authors are expected to respect the ethical principles of psychologists and code of conduct. Please refer to the ethical recommendations of the APA (http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/), the code of conduct of the French Psychology Society (http://www.sfpsy.org/spip.php?rubrique27) and the recommendations of the COPE (committee on publication ethics: http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines).
Data accessibility
Authors must include a “data accessibility statement” providing a link to the data and material used in the study, that has been stored in an online repository (such as the Open Science Framework, osf.io). If this is not possible, authors must provide a justification within the manuscript.
References
All references cited within the submission must be listed at the end of the main text file.
Language & Text
Capitalisation
Submission title & headings within the main text:
Capitalise the first word of the title/heading and of any subtitle/subheading;
Capitalise all “major” words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns) in the title/heading, including the second part of hyphenated major words (e.g., Self-Report not Self-report)
Capitalise all words of four letters or more.
Use lowercase only for “minor” words of three letters or fewer, namely, for conjunctions (words like and, or, nor, and but), articles (the words a, an, and the), and prepositions (words like as, at, by, for, in, of, on, per, and to), as long as they aren’t the first word in a title/heading.
Spelling
Submissions must be made in either English or in French. Authors are welcome to use American or British spellings as long as they are used consistently throughout the whole of the submission.
When referring to proper nouns and normal institutional titles, the official, original spelling must be used.
World Health Organization, not World Health Organisation
Grammar
French, American or English grammar rules may be used as long as they are used consistently and match the spelling format (see above). For instance, you may use a serial comma or not.
red, white, and blue OR red, white and blue
Font
The font used should be commonly available and in an easily readable size. This may be changed during the typesetting process and will not necessarily be the published font.
Underlined text should be avoided whenever possible.
Bold or italicised text to emphasise a point are permitted, although should be restricted to minimal occurrences to maximise their efficiency.
Lists
Use bullet points to denote a list without hierarchy or order of value. If the list indicates a specific sequence then a numbered list must be used.
Lists should be used sparingly to maximise their impact.
Quotation marks
Use single quotation marks except for quotes within another speech, in which case double quotation marks are used.
Quotations that are longer than three lines in length must be in an indented paragraph separate from the main text.
It must be clear from the text and/or citation where the quote is sourced. If quoting from material that is under copyright then permission will need to be obtained from the copyright holder.
Acronyms & Abbreviations
With abbreviations, the crucial goal is to ensure that the reader – particularly one who may not be fully familiar with the topic or context being addressed – is able to follow along. Spell out almost all acronyms on first use, indicating the acronym in parentheses immediately thereafter. Use the acronym for all subsequent references.
Research completed by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows …
A number of abbreviations are so common that they do not require the full text on the first instance. Examples of these can be found by clicking here.
Abbreviations should usually be in capital letters without full stops.
USA, not U.S.A
Common examples from Latin origin do not follow this rule and should be lower case and can include full stops.
e.g., i.e., etc.
Use of footnotes/endnotes
Use endnotes rather than footnotes (we refer to these as ‘Notes’ in the online publication). These appear at the end of the main text, before ‘References’.
All notes should be used only where crucial clarifying information needs to be conveyed.
Avoid using notes for purposes of referencing, with in-text citations used instead. If in-text citations cannot be used, a source can be cited as part of a note.
Please insert the endnote marker after the end punctuation.
Data & Symbols
Data analyses
Data analyses presentation should conform to the recommendations of the APA (Chapter 4 and 5, 6th edition).
Moreover, we encourage authors:
Not to focus exclusively on signification levels but to report, additionally, effect sizes (or confidence interval).
To stick on a signification level that has been defined a priori (e.g., p < .05).
To determine, when it is possible, sample sizes on the bases of a priori criteria (e.g., power analyses)
To make data and material publically available (interview guides, questionnaires…) in order to facilitate potential replications.
When covariates are included in the analyses, or extreme observations removed from the database (outliers), to indicate the method used to that purpose and to report whether the conclusions would change, and in which direction, without such exclusions/ inclusions.
For between subject designs, the journal does not encourage publication of studies including fewer than 20 observations per cell (see Simmons, Nelson & Simmonsohn, 2011). This, however, is not a recommended sample size but a lower limit.” and "Before submission, ensure that there are no statistical reporting error. We encourage submitting the manuscript to the statcheck (http://statcheck.io/) website for doing so.

Symbols
Symbols are permitted within the main text and datasets as long as they are commonly in use or have explanatory definition on their first usage.
Hyphenation, em and en dashes
There is no set rule on the use of hyphenation between words, as long as they are consistently used.
Em dashes should be used sparingly. If they are present, they should denote emphasis, change of thought or interruption to the main sentence and can replace comas, parentheses, colons or semicolons.
The president’s niece—daughter of his younger brother—caused a media scandal when…
En dashes can be used to replace ‘to’ when indicating a range. No space should be around the dash.
10-25 years
pp. 10-65
Numbers
For numbers zero to nine please spell the whole words. Please use figures for numbers 10 or higher.
This study looked at five case studies
This study looked at 12 case studies
We are happy for authors to use either words or figures to represent large whole figures (i.e. one million or 1,000,000) as long as the usage is consistent throughout the text.
If the sentence includes a series of numbers then figures must be used in each instance.
Artefacts were found at depths of 5, 9, and 29 cm.
If the number appears as part of a dataset, in conjunction with a symbol or as part of a table then the figure must be used.
If a number is presented with a symbol then the figure must be not separated from the unit by a space.
This study confirmed that 5% of…
Numbers that are less that zero must have ‘0’ precede the decimal point.
0.24 NOT .24
Units of measurement
Symbols following a figure to denote a unit of measurement must be taken from the latest SI brochure. See http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/si_brochure_8_en.pdf for the full brochure.
Figures & Tables
Figures
Figures, including graphs and diagrams, must be professionally and clearly presented. If a figure is not easy to understand or does not appear to be of a suitable quality, the editor may ask to re-render or omit it.
All figures must be cited within the main text, in consecutive order using Arabic numerals (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.).
Each figure must have an accompanying descriptive main title. This should clearly and concisely summarise the content and/or use of the figure image. A short additional figure legend is optional to offer a further description.
Figure 1: 1685 map of London.
Figure 1: 1685 map of London. Note the additional of St Paul’s Cathedral, absent from earlier maps.
Figure titles and legends should be placed within the text document, either after the paragraph of their first citation, or as a list after the references.
The source of the image should be included, along with any relevant copyright information and a statement of authorisation (if needed). If using images from an archive then please provide the name of the archive, the collection and the acquisition number.
Figure 1: Firemen try to free workers buried under piles of concrete and metal girders. Photo: Claude-Michel Masson. Reproduced with permission of the photographer.
If your figure file includes text then please present the font as Arial, Helvetica, or Verdana. This will mean that it matches the typeset text.
NOTE: To aid the editorial and review process, figures should be uploaded as a single PDF file as a supplementary file during the submission process. If accepted for publication, authors will be asked to provide the the original source images as separate files prior to typesetting, if possible in colour and at a resolution of at least 300dpi. Standard formats accepted are: JPG, TIFF, GIF, PNG, EPS. For line drawings, please provide the original vector file (e.g. .ai, or .eps).
Tables
Tables must be created using a word processor's table function, not tabbed text.
Tables should be included in the manuscript. The final layout will place the tables as close to their first citation as possible.
All tables must be cited within the main text, numbered with Arabic numerals in consecutive order (e.g. Table 1, Table 2, etc.). The shortened word ‘Tab’ should not be used to cite a table.
Each table must have an accompanying descriptive title. This should clearly and concisely summarise the content and/or use of the table. A short additional table legend is optional to offer a further description of the table. The table title and legend should be placed underneath the table.
Tables should not include:
Rotated text
Colour to denote meaning (it will not display the same on all devices)
Images
Vertical or diagonal lines
Multiple parts (e.g. ‘Table 1a’ and ‘Table 1b’). These should either be merged into one table, or separated into ‘Table 1’ and ‘Table 2’.
NOTE: If there are more columns than can fit on a single page, then the table will be placed horizontally on the page. If it still can't fit horizontally on a page, the table will be broken into two.
References
In-text citations
Every use of information from other sources must be cited in the text so that it is clear that external material has been used. Please use parenthetical citations according to the 'Author: Year style'.
If the author is already mentioned in the main text then the year should follow the name within parenthesis.
Both Jones (2013) and Brown (2010) showed that …
If the author name is not mentioned in the main text then the surname and year should be inserted, in parenthesis, after the relevant text. Multiple citations should be separated by semi-colon and follow alphabetical order.
The statistics clearly show this to be untrue (Brown, 2010; Jones, 2013).
If three or fewer authors are cited from the same citation then all should be listed. If four or more authors are part of the citation then ‘et al.’ should follow the first author name.
(Jones, Smith & Brown 2008)
(Jones et al., 2008)
If citations are used from the same author and the same year, then a lowercase letter, starting from ‘a’, should be placed after the year.
(Jones, 2013a; Jones, 2013b)
If specific pages are being cited then the page number should follow the year, after a colon.
(Brown, 2004: 65; Jones, 2013: 143)
For publications authored and published by organisations, use the short form of the organisation’s name or its acronym in lieu of the full name.
(ICRC 2000) NOT (International Committee of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies 2000)
Please do not include URLs in parenthetical citations, but rather cite the author or page title and include all details, including the URL, in the reference list.
Reference list
All citations must be listed at the end of the text file, in alphabetical order of authors’ surnames. References should not be listed if they are not cited in the main text.
NOTE: If multiple works by the same author are being listed, please re-type the author’s name out for each entry, rather than using a long dash.
NOTE: DOIs should be included for all reference entries, where possible.
NOTE: If citing papers from this journal then please note that all publications since the start of 2016 have been released under the journal title 'International Review of Social Psychology'. All publications prior to 2016 were under the journal title 'Revue Internationale de Psychologie Sociale'. Please ensure that the original journal title is displayed in your citation.
