Journal overview

Educational Psychologist publishes articles related to the psychology of learning and instruction. Articles in this journal may adopt one or more lenses or perspectives on educational psychology, from a focus upon psychological mechanisms through social and societal phenomena related to the psychology of learning and instruction. This journal publishes theoretical and conceptual articles as well as reviews and meta-analyses that make significant contributions to theory or the methods used to explore such theory, lead the field in new directions, and advance understanding of issues, problems, policy, and research related to all aspects of educational psychology. The journal does not publish articles whose primary purpose is to report the methods and results of an empirical study. To be considered for publication, all manuscripts, including reviews and meta-analyses, must have clear implications for advancing theory. In addition to publishing regular articles, the journal publishes special issues that are devoted to important themes in educational psychology as well as focal articles with associated peer commentary.
