Psychology & Sexuality is an important new international journal which publishes high-quality quantitative and qualitative psychological research on sexualities. The journal aims to advance knowledge and understanding of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, heterosexual and queer issues in psychology and allied disciplines. Psychology & Sexuality is progressive and radical with regard to current debates in critical psychology, while also drawing from work traditionally seen as outside the remit of psychology to inform debate. The content is predominantly empirical and theoretical papers from both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, but review articles and essays are welcome, along with book reviews. Special features and issues are welcome along with papers that address user engagement and activism. Occasional interview pieces are included along with historical articles on key figures in the field. Please contact either of the editors if you wish to discuss a special feature/issue or other non-standard article submission. Topics covered include (though note this list is not exclusive): sexual identities and practices, relationships, families, LGBTQ studies, queer theory, counselling/psychotherapy with sexual minority clients, attitudes, prejudice and discrimination, health, violence, intergroup relations, the intersection of sexualities and other important demographic characteristics/lines of power (e.g. gender, class, disability, race/ethnicity, age, religion). Submissions addressing these topics and others from a variety of approaches and methodologies - qualitative and quantitative - are most welcome. 'Psychology & Sexuality offers a valuable and exciting contribution to the field. This journal promises to present important challenges to both psychology and sexuality studies. It is exciting to have a new journal that encourages interdisciplinary debates that may otherwise not feature in psychology journals.' Katrina Røn, University of Oslo, Norway 'This truly is a ground-breaking journal. It is a high-quality publication with an international focus - the first of its kind.' Kathleen Ritter, California State University, Bakersfield, USA 'This new journal will no doubt soon become a vital tool for research and practice across a range of disciplines in its call for a truly inclusive and progressive approach to the study of genders and sexualities.' Dr. Damien W. Riggs, University of Adelaide, Australia 'A cutting edge journal of great value to clinicians and researchers working in this field who are interested in a non-pathologising and inclusive perspective.' Dominic Davies FBACP, Director, Pink Therapy 'Congratulations on the first issue - it looks really interesting! It promises valuable new perspectives on cutting edge research and theory.' Dr Fiona Tasker, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK 'At last - a place for cutting edge writing about sexuality within Psychology. Psychology and Sexuality looks set to become a 'must read' journal within the field.' Professor Rosalind Gill, King's College London, UK 'Psychology & Sexuality showcases a diverse range of cutting-edge research in the field, and is set to become the leading international journal in LGBTQ Psychology' Elizabeth Peel, Aston University, UK 'What is striking about this new psychology journal is its willingness to extend beyond the boundaries of the discipline in order to encompass a wide range of critical approaches to the study of sexuality. This makes the publication unique and provides a resource that will be indispensable both to psychologists wishing to keep informed about relevant developments and debates in neighboring disciplines and to scholars in other fields who seek to understand the latest psychological perspectives on sexuality.' Prof. Lisa Downing, Director of the Centre for the Interdisciplinary Study of Sexuality and Gender in Europe (CISSGE), UK 'For decades, Psychology has been slow and rigid when it comes to sexual issues, but Psychology & Sexuality promises to overcome the drawbacks of the past.' Gert Hekma, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands Editorial policy Our editorial policy is progressive in that a strongly non-pathological stance will be taken whilst remaining inclusive of the variety of positions in the field and encouraging vigorous debate. To this end, controversial papers will be acceptable, subject to the usual peer-review criteria, and debate within the journal - replies and rebuttals - are encouraged. A broad position will be taken with respect to the scope of psychological work that will be acceptable. Work outside and on the boundaries of the discipline will be acceptable provided it addresses contemporary issues in research and writing on sexualities. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work is actively encouraged. Work which treats sexualities, of any kind, as pathology in need of treatment and cure will not be acceptable, as will work which does not directly address issues in contemporary human sexualities research. Comparative work will be treated cautiously due to the inherent difficulties in research and writing of this kind but not automatically excluded. Research and writing which is only about the biology of sexualities and/or that which seeks to identify the 'causes' of sexualities is also not within the remit of this journal. All papers will be subject to the usual system of peer-review, usually by two reviewers in addition to one or both of the editors.

The Forum provides an outlet for debates over concepts, theories, methods, and the state of current research as well as reactions to pieces published in ISR.

Behavioural Processes is dedicated to the publication of high-quality original research on animal behaviour from any theoretical perspective. It welcomes contributions that consider animal behaviour from behavioural analytic, cognitive, ethological, ecological and evolutionary points of view. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and papers that integrate theory and methodology across disciplines are particularly welcome.The quality of research and focus on behavioural processes are the sole criteria for acceptance. Behavioural Processes considers both papers investigating basic behavioural phenomena and behavioural studies of more applied significance. Papers reporting solely on human behaviour may be considered for publication if they relate closely to non-human research within the journal's remit. Authors of papers reporting research on human subjects are invited to contact the editors for advice prior to submission, as they are for papers of all kinds.Behavioural Processes publishes three categories of paper. First, regular Research Papers presenting the results of original experiments or outlining novel theoretical positions. Second, Reviews which summarize the state of knowledge in an area of animal behavioural research. Third, Short Reports which are short communications reporting the outcome of a single experiment in no more than 2000 words and a total of two tables or figures.
