InPsych magazine is our flagship publication and essential reading for psychologists, students and the public alike. It's published four times a year and delivers the latest in psychological research, practice, ethics and news. In 2022, the magazine moved entirely online, so you can now flip through evidence-based articles and updates from across the profession anywhere, anytime.
The team welcomes articles, submissions and research snapshots from members. Read to find out more about the types of content we accept.

Submission guidelines
Submissions can be made to [email protected]
- InPsych does not accept for publication articles that have been published elsewhere.
- All items must comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
- Submissions should be written in a conversational style that will engage the reader, similar to what you would expect to read in a quality weekend newspaper magazine or The Conversation (the online website that publishes academic and research articles), but written specifically for psychologists. One important aim of the publication for example is to translate research into accessible language that can be understood by a wider audience.
- While articles must be empirically based, the number of references for all types of submissions must be kept to a minimum (up to 10) and these will only appear in the online version.
- Where appropriate we welcome the submission of images and photos (for which the author has the rights to use) to be considered for inclusion in the article. These should be submitted as a jpg file at 300 dpi format.
- Authors will be required to complete a copyright form assigning copyright of the article to the APS.

Editorial decisions
- In making decisions about inclusion of articles the editor consults with the editorial committee.
- Selection of articles for inclusion is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the suitability, breadth, relevance and appeal of the topic area, the writing style, avoidance of repetition of recent topics, variety of authors (level of experience, areas of expertise), and number of pages available.
- We cannot guarantee that selected articles will appear in the next issue of InPsych. Publication dates will be determined on a per article basis. We endeavour to provide authors with a publication time frame on acceptance of the article.
- The editor reserves the right to edit articles and will work jointly with authors to ensure high quality items that meet InPsych requirements.
- InPsych does not publish articles that have been published elsewhere or are being considered for inclusion in another publication, whether this be in electronic or print form.
