APA's Science Directorate invites you to promote the valuable work of psychological scientists by writing newspaper op-ed pieces, which have been shown to influence the public's and policy-makers' understanding and appreciation for psychological science.
APA's Science Directorate and Office of Member and Public Communications will offer advice and assistance in developing your article for publication. Your op-ed can be about your own research and its implications, news topics of the day, or about psychological science and its applications in general. Your contribution can have a lasting effect--first, by being read by the public, then by being accessed in a data bank by journalists and other media specialists who look for ideas for feature articles and television programs.
Op-ed articles are generally 600 to 1,000 words.
To see successful examples, visit www.apa.org/science. For more information, contact Rhea K. Farberman, APA executive director of member and public communications. Or, if you have questions, comments or advice about this idea, contact Kurt Salzinger, PhD, APA's executive director for science. Please let the Science Directorate know whenever you submit an op-ed piece.
