The Impact Factors for 2019 demonstrated a sustained improvement across the APS journal portfolio, with increases in impact for each of the journals with Impact Factors:  Australian Journal of Psychology (AJP), the Australian Psychologist (AP), the Clinical Psychologist (CP).

The Journal Citation Reports by the Web of Science Group indicate that the 2019 Impact Factor for Australian Journal of Psychology rose to 1.486, from 0.984 in 2018, an increase of 45%. This result places the journal 65/138 in the Psychology, Multidisciplinary category.

The 2019 Impact Factor for Australian Psychologist rose to 1.458, from 1.412 in 2018 placing the journal 68/138 in Psychology, Multidisciplinary category, and the 2019 Impact Factor for Clinical Psychologist rose to 1.333, from 1.293 in 2018. This result places the journal 61/77 in the Psychology category.

Particular thanks to Prof Nigel Bond, departing editor of the Australian Journal of Psychology, and Prof Maria Kangas, departing editor of the Australian Psychologist who did a stellar job in achieving these wonderful results for our journal portfolio. They will be greatly missed.

The process of seeking a new publishing partner for the AJP, AP and ACP began in November 2019. The APS will move these journals from Wiley to Taylor and Frances in January 2021.
