Early Career Researcher (ECR) review opportunity

The Editors of Health Psychology Open have an exciting opportunity for Early Career Researchers (ECR) to become reviewers for the journal. An ECR is someone who is completing postgraduate training such as a PhD or postdoctoral training or is someone who has completed their training in the last few years. ECRs who have not yet been awarded their PhD or doctoral qualification should be supported by a supervisor when completing their review. Training and resources on completing the review process will be made available. If you would like to become an ECR reviewer for the journal, please email the journal editors (hpoeditor@gmail.com) with a short expression of interest outlining your current position in relation to career development and your expertise in relation to health psychology topics and methodological approaches. We will be in touch to invite you to a meeting where further information will be provided.

Health Psychology Open (HPO) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, online-only journal providing rapid publication. HPO is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research in health psychology from around the world.

HPO seeks to provide a platform for both traditional empirical analyses and more qualitative and/or critically oriented approaches to health psychology. All areas of health psychology are covered, but these topics are of particular interest:

  • Clinical health psychology
  • Critical health psychology
  • Community health psychology
  • Health psychology practice
  • Health psychology through a social, cultural or regional lens

The journal particularly favours papers that focus on health psychology in practice, including submissions concerning community and/or clinical applications and interventions. Review articles are also welcomed.

There is no fixed limit to the length of manuscripts, which is normally strictly limited in other journals, for example HPO’s sister journal, Journal of Health Psychology (JHP).

Studies published in this journal are required to obtain ethical approval from an Institutional Review Board. Such approval must include informed, signed consent by all research participants. Any manuscript not containing an explicit statement concerning ethical approval and informed consent will not be considered.
