At the beginning of this year the Australian Journal of Psychology embraced the principles of Open Science and became fully Open Access.
Open Access means that everyone who wishes to, can have direct access to the knowledge produced through the journal.
To date there has been an increase in submissions in the first part of 2022 compared to the same time in 2021.
The change in full-text downloads has been astronomical, increasing from 6851 in the first quarter of 2021 to an 85,946 in 2022. This extraordinary result is a manifestation of Open Access.
Congratulations to the editor Professor Justin Kenardy MAPS, the editorial team, all who have contributed to Australian Journal of Psychology, and the APS staff who support the journal.
