The European Psychologist integrates across all specializations, providing a general platform for communication and cooperation among psychologists throughout Europe and worldwide. Each annual volume consists of four regular issues, with occasional supplements.
Only papers that have not previously appeared in or been submitted elsewhere can be considered for publication. Submitted manuscripts are subject to peer review and may be returned to authors for revision.
The journal contains the following sections: original articles, reviews (of a broader field or topical context), reports, commentaries and news, book and journal reviews.
Manuscripts should be submitted online via the journal's website.
Please read the following information carefully before submitting a document to the European Psychologist.
By submitting an article, the author confirms and guarantees on behalf of him-/herself and any co- authors that the manuscript has not been submitted or published elsewhere, and that he or she holds all copyright in and titles to the submitted contribution, including any figures, photographs, line drawings, plans, maps, sketches, and tables, and that the article and its contents do not infringe in any way on the rights of third parties.
The author agrees, upon acceptance of the article for publication, to transfer to the publisher the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the article and its contents, both physically and in nonphysical, electronic, or other form, in the journal to which it has been submitted and in other independent publications, with no limitations on the number of copies or on the form or the extent of distribution. These rights are transferred for the duration of copyright as defined by international law.
Authors will be asked to complete, sign and return a Copyright Agreement form upon acceptance of their article.
The title page of each paper or article should include, in the following order:
- Title of the article;
- Author name(s) (preceded by first names, but with no academic titles given);
- Name of the institute or clinic (if there is more than one author or institution, affiliations should be indicated using superscript arabic numerals); and an
- Address for correspondence (including the name of the corresponding author with fax and phone numbers).
A summary (maximum length 250 words) should be printed on a separate sheet for original papers, reviews, and reports. A maximum of 5 key reference terms should be given after the summary.
Reference citations in the text and in the reference list proper should follow conventions listed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 5th ed., referred to hereinafter as the APA Manual.

Research in addiction: An update (pp. 129–136). Göttingen: Hogrefe & Huber.
Tables should be numbered using arabic numerals. Tables must be cited in the text (e.g., "As shown in Table 1,…"). Each table should be printed on a separate sheet. Below the table number, a brief descriptive title should be given; this should then be followed by the body of the table. It is recommended that each table should also include a brief explanatory legend.
Figures should be numbered using Arabic numerals. Each figure must be cited in the text (e.g., "As illustrated in Figure 1,…") and should be accompanied by a legend on a separate sheet.
As on-line submission requires papers to be submitted as one file, figures and tables etc. should be appended to the paper and not be sent as separate files. However, upon acceptance of an article, it may be necessary for figures to be supplied separately in a form suitable for better reproduction: preferably high-resolution (300 dpi) or vector graphics files.
Where this is necessary, the corresponding author will be notified by the publishers. Figures will normally be reproduced in black and white only. While it is possible to reproduce color illustrations, authors are reminded that they will be invoiced for the extra costs involved.
If figures or tables are taken from another source, a letter from the respective copyright holders granting permission to reproduce them must be submitted with the manuscript.
Original papers and reviews should not exceed ca. 8–10 printed pages, i.e., ca. 7500 words of main text plus ca. 40 references (not including summary and title page; if figures or tables are included, the word count should be adjusted accordingly). Reports should not exceed ca. 2–4 printed pages, i.e., ca. 1500–2500 words plus up to 15 references.
If the reference list does not conform to APA style, the manuscript will have to be returned to the author for correction.
Authors should follow the guidelines of the APA Manual regarding style and nomenclature. Manuscripts that do not conform to these guidelines may have to be returned to the authors for correction.
It is recommended that authors who are not native speakers of English have their papers checked and corrected by a native-speaker colleague before submission. The Editor-in-Chief may have to return manuscripts for correction if the English is inadequate. Standard US American spelling and punctuation as given in Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary should be followed.
PDF proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. Changes of content or stylistic changes may only be made in exceptional cases in the proofs. Corrections that exceed 5% of the typesetting costs may be invoiced to the authors.
In consideration of the transfer of copyright to the publisher, each author of a review, report, or original article will receive two complimentary copies of the issue in which the article appeared. In addition, offprints can be ordered at cost price, provided that the request is sent in at the same time as the proofs are returned.
Authors of articles in journals published by the Hogrefe Group may post a copy of the final accepted manuscript for non-commercial purposes, as a word-processor, PDF, or other type of file, on their personal web page or on their employer's website after it has been accepted for publication. The following conditions apply:
- Only the final draft manuscript post-refereeing shall be used for this purpose, not the published version, and this final draft manuscript may only be posted 12 months after the article has been published.
- The posted version of the article must carry the publisher's copyright notice in the form "[Journal Title], [Volume No.] , [Issue No.], © [Year] by [Publisher's name]", (as it appears in the published journal/article) and a link to the publisher's journal home page must be included.
- Further, the posted article must include the following statement: "This article does not exactly replicate the final version published in the journal "[Add title of Journal]". It is not a copy of the original published article and is not suitable for citation. "
The publisher does not permit archiving in any repositories other than the publisher's own.
The publisher cannot provide electronic copies of the published version of the article for posting. Creation of an electronic or digital copy of the published version of the article for the purposes of posting or distributing it is not permitted.
Items for inclusion in this section should be sent as a file attachment via e-mail direct to the News Editor,
Dr. Katharina Althaus.
