Journal Opportunity: Seeking Associate Editor for Personality Science

SPSP's Promoting Inclusive Excellence in Publications Committee is seeking nominations and self-nominations for an Associate Editor position at the collaborative journal Personality Science (PS). For the current scope, see https://ps.psychopen.eu/index.php/ps/scope.

The Associate Editor will serve under Jaap Denissen's editorial term (January 2024 – December 2027). They will handle about 15 manuscripts per year and will receive a small stipend of 500 euros per year. Associate Editors receive guidance in many aspects of serving as an action editor (including publishing ethics, work management, open and inclusive science considerations, and conflicts of interest). Serving as an Associate Editor is a great way to serve the field, promote good scientific values, and learn more about the field as well as the editorial process.

Journal Details

PS is set to relaunch in early 2024 at Sage as an online-only, diamond open-access journal, with a five-association consortium. It will cover parts of the U.S. (ARP and SPSP), Europe (EAPP), Asia (JSPP), and Oceania (ACPID). PS will benefit from more views and voices, and it will become more globalized as a result. The diamond open-access status means that there will be no fees for authors or readers. This also serves the long-term goal for the journal to become an inclusive and prestigious outlet for cutting-edge research from scholars around the world, with no barriers to publishing or reading its contents.
