Focus And Scope

Advances in Psychology Innovation (API) is a journal publishing original scientific papers on the neural, endocrine, immune, and other physiological aspects of psychological conditions and processes. These aspects include assessments based on biochemistry, electrophysiology, and neuroimaging during psychological experiments, as well as changes in psychological function caused by biological factors. Investigations in psychology based on biological theories are also of particular interest. All aspects of psychological function, including psychopathology, are interconnected.

The journal focuses on work with human individuals but may consider work with animals if conceptually related to issues in human biological psychology. API welcomes contributions spanning disciplines and methods, with an editorial team specifically suited to handle such manuscripts. Empirical reports form the core of the journal, although methodological and theoretical reports relevant to biological psychology are encouraged (see types of articles for more information). Finally, API regularly publishes special issues on specific topics within its scope.
