Information for contributors to InPsych

General contributions

The APS welcomes completed articles from members for inclusion in future editions of InPsych. Submissions should relate to a topical psychology issue, or industry developments in Australia and overseas.

All articles submitted may be edited for length and style, and inclusion is at the editor's discretion. The recommended length is either 800 or 1600 words.

All articles must be written specifically for APS members, but in a non-technical and easy-to-read style. A 'conversational' tone of writing is appropriate for InPsych (similar to what you would expect to read in a weekend broadsheet newspaper magazine supplement but, of course, written specifically for psychologists).

Abstract submission for an InPsych cover feature

How to submit
Please email your article to the InPsych production editor, Katrina Mutton at k.mutton@psychology.org.au. Receipt of your email will be acknowledged, and you will be contacted again if your article is to be included.

Letters to the editor

Do you have an issue you would like to discuss? Write a letter to the editor!

Letters to the editor should be no more than 300 words in length. By submitting your letter for publication you agree that the letter may be edited for space, legal or other reasons. Selection of letters for publication will consider the breadth of issues covered, avoidance of repetition, and variety of authors.

All letters should be emailed to the InPsych production editor at k.mutton@psychology.org.au.
