Manuscript Preparation
Review our comprehensive Instructions for Authors to ensure compliance with formatting standards, ethical requirements, and reporting guidelines. Manuscripts must include detailed methodology, ethical approval documentation, and conflict of interest statements.
Submission and Screening
Submit manuscripts through our online submission portal or email to [email protected]. The editorial office conducts initial screening for scope alignment, technical completeness, and ethical compliance within 72 hours.
Peer Review
Manuscripts entering peer review are evaluated by at least two independent experts in psychophysiology and related disciplines. Reviewers assess methodological rigor, statistical validity, theoretical contribution, and interpretation of findings.
Editorial Decision
Authors receive detailed feedback with decisions of accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject. Most manuscripts receive first decisions within 2-3 weeks of submission.
Publication and Dissemination
Accepted manuscripts undergo copyediting and are published online within 48 hours.
JPR adheres to the highest standards of publication ethics as outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Our editorial policies ensure transparency, integrity, and fairness throughout the publication process.
JPR requires authors to disclose all potential conflicts of interest, funding sources, and author contributions using the CRediT taxonomy. We encourage data sharing and transparency in research methods to support reproducibility. Allegations of research misconduct are investigated according to COPE guidelines, with appropriate corrective actions including corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions when warranted.
JPR operates on an open access publishing model supported by article processing charges (APCs) levied after manuscript acceptance. These fees cover peer review administration, copyediting, typesetting, hosting, and distribution costs. Detailed pricing information and waiver policies are available on our Article Processing Charges page.
We offer reduced rates for authors from low- and middle-income countries and consider waiver requests from researchers facing genuine financial constraints. Publication decisions are made independently of authors' ability to pay, ensuring merit-based evaluation.
JPR manuscripts are indexed in major academic databases to ensure discoverability by researchers worldwide. Our articles appear in Google Scholar, institutional repositories, and specialized psychophysiology databases.
We actively promote published research through academic social networks, RSS feeds, and targeted dissemination to relevant research communities. Authors retain copyright under CC BY 4.0, enabling them to share and promote their work freely while maintaining attribution.
