The Philippine Journal of Psychology (PJP) is an international, open access, and refereed journal published annually by the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP). It is the flagship journal of psychology in the Philippines, and its principal aim is to promote psychological studies in the Philippines and psychological studies of the Filipino people. PJP issues are archived in this site: https://www.pap.ph/pjp
The PJP publishes articles representing scholarly works of Philippine psychologists, articles on psychological studies conducted with Filipino participants and/or conducted in Philippine society, cross-cultural studies including a Philippine sample, and articles of general interest to psychologists studying and working with Filipino people.
Research and Publication Ethics
The PJP abides by the PAP Code of Ethics for Philippine Psychologists Sec X.Research and the National Ethical Guidelines for Health and Health-Related Research.
The manuscript must explicitly indicate that the study underwent research ethics review and obtained clearance or approval by an institutional ethics review board, preferably accredited by the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (if authors are affiliated with a local institution; refer to https://ethics.healthresearch.ph/index.php/new-accredited-recs). If formal ethics approval was not obtained, the authors should indicate this in their cover letter to the Editor with an explanation (e.g., the authors’ institution does not have an accredited ethics review committee).
Authors must also declare any relevant conflict of interest (COI) in the cover letter to the Editor. A potential COI exists when the researcher has interests in the outcome of the research that can lead to a professional or financial advantage which may (in actuality or appearance) compromise the integrity of the research. For example, an author should declare that the program being evaluated in the study is copyrighted or owned by the author or the funding agency.
Whether or not there was formal ethics approval, the authors must explicitly describe in their manuscript the procedures they undertook to ensure the rights and welfare of human participants, especially with respect to the informed consent process (ensuring voluntary participation), mitigation of risks associated with research participation, and the maintenance of privacy or confidentiality of data.
Peer-Review Policy and Procedures Upon submission, the Editor or one of the Associate Editors evaluates the manuscript and determines whether it is suitable for peer review. For manuscripts that do not proceed to the peer review process, authors are notified within three to four weeks of submission. For manuscripts that are peer reviewed, authors can expect a decision approximately 90 days from submission. The editorial decision for such manuscripts shall be one of the following: (a) acceptance with minor revisions, (b) revise and resubmit, or (c) rejection.
The PJP implements a double blind peer review policy. It also implements a constructive peer review policy, wherein referees are encouraged to provide authors with detailed comments that would help authors improve their manuscripts for publication.
Manuscripts that are accepted will be subject to copyediting to improve readability. Prior to actual publication, authors will be asked to review the pre-publication proofs of their manuscript, and to supply corrections and/or missing information.
Copyright
The copyright of all published manuscripts is owned by the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP), the publisher of PJP. The transfer of the copyright to PAP applies to all printed and electronic copies of the manuscript, and is affirmed in copyright agreement forms. The assignment of copyright to PAP indicates that the authors have granted to PAP the exclusive right to publish and reproduce the article in print, electronic, or other media.
