About

Established in 2008, the Russian Psychological Society's Journal «Psychology in Russia: State of the Art» publishes original research on all aspects of general psychology including cognitive, clinical, developmental, social, neuropsychology, psychophysiology, psychology of labor and ergonomics, and methodology of psychological science.

Journal's list of authors comprises prominent scientists, practitioners and experts from leading Russian universities, research institutions, state ministries and private practice. Addressing current challenges of psychology, it also reviews developments in novel areas such as security, sport, and art psychology, as well as psychology of negotiations, cyberspace and virtual reality.

The journal builds upon theoretical foundations laid by the works of Vygotsky, Luria and other Russian scientists whose works contributed to shaping the psychological science worldwide, and welcomes international submissions which make major contributions across the range of psychology, especially appreciating the ones conducted in the paradigm of the Russian psychological tradition.

It enjoys a wide international readership and features reports of empirical studies, book reviews and theoretical contributions, which aim to further our understanding of psychology.

Digital archiving of the journal is performed at the national library Cyberleninka

Since 2013 «Psychology in Russia: State of the Art» is published quarterly by Russian Psychological Society and Faculty of Psychology of Lomonosov Moscow State University in the English language.

Ethics

Dear authors,

We need to inform you about new procedures we are enacting in respect to your manuscripts.

Since our journal was included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index-Web of Science in 2016, the requirements for manuscript editing have become more rigorous. To meet the requirements assuring a quality translation, the final version of your manuscript (as approved by the editorial board after implementation of all the necessary amendments in response to reviewers’ comments) is to be edited by a professional editor who is a native English speaker.

An article may be edited either in American or in British English, but uniformity of editing style is mandatory.

Basing on our editorial experience, we consider the following editors to be completely reliable:

Organizations:

Manuscript editing by an organization is attested to by the issuance of a Certificate of Language Edit. This certificate is issued free of charge.

Private practitioners:

This list of reliable editors is a recommendation; it is not mandatory. This information is provided to facilitate and guide our collaboration under these new conditions.

In the case of editing by any other contractors (private practitioners or organizations), our editorial board performs an additional quality check, since we cannot be sure their work is reliable. The editorial board is not responsible for any risks (including the risk of financial losses) that arise from rejection of publication of the final text of your manuscript, if the editing was delegated to a contractor not represented in our list of reliable editors.

Tables. Make sure that the tables are numbered according to their sequence in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Try to avoid using tables with plenty of numerical data. Make sure that all the tables and illustrations are discussed in the text.

Figures. Use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork. Resolution should be minimum 300 dpi. Note that the journal is printed in black and white. Make sure that the illustrations are numbered according to their sequence in the text. The names of the files should have the subscription the way it would appear in the text.
