It is aimed primarily at professionals, researchers, and practitioners from various specialties of psychology, and it publishes four issues per year. Its issues comprise scientific articles, thesis summaries, and book reviews, among other things, and they cover all areas of psychology. The&nbsp;<em>bulletin de psychologie<\/em>&nbsp;is published by the Groupe d\u2019\u00e9tudes de psychologie, a non-profit organization based at the Sorbonne since 1947. The&nbsp;<em>bulletin<\/em>&nbsp;is independent of any commercial publisher; it is its own publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Aims and scope&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The bulletin de psychologie<\/em>&nbsp;encourages the publication of French-language works that are in line with the latest research trends, as well as innovative works situated outside of these movements. The <em>bulletin<\/em> does not specialize in any particular strand of research; therefore, in addition to the qualities required of any scientific article, texts published in the&nbsp;<em>bulletin<\/em>&nbsp;must also be comprehensible to all specialists in psychology, no matter their theoretical or methodological orientation. We prioritize texts that are rooted in an identified current of psychology and are in line with current research trends.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Resources<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The main resources of the&nbsp;<em>bulletin<\/em>&nbsp;come from yearly subscriptions, revenue from packages offered by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cairn.info\/revue-bulletin-de-psychologie.htm\">Cairn<\/a>, the sale of individual issues, and royalties from the Centre fran\u00e7ais d&rsquo;exploitation du droit de copie&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfcopies.com\/\">CFC&nbsp;<\/a>. It uses a subscriber-pays business model, which is predominant in the industry. Publication is free of charge for authors (the checking of English translations of titles and abstracts is handled by the&nbsp;<em>bulletin<\/em>, as is the translation of certain full-length articles). Since 2014, the&nbsp;<em>bulletin<\/em>&nbsp;is able to receive donations as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Association_d%27int%C3%A9r%C3%AAt_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ral\">general interest organization of a scientific, social, and cultural nature<\/a>, as it contributes to the dissemination of culture, language, and scientific knowledge in the French language. The donations received by the&nbsp;<em>bulletin<\/em>&nbsp;enable it to offer free subscriptions to libraries or documentation centers that do not have the means to take out a print or digital subscription. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Review procedure&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Every proposed article undergoes an initial assessment by the members of the editorial board. The text is either rejected (20% are rejected because they do not correspond to the editorial line: either because they are too specialized, exist outside of an identifiable field of psychology, or do not meet the standards of a scientific article) or placed in the hands of a member of the editorial board who specializes in the field concerned. They will then assess the article and either reject it for publication or send it to at least two external experts. Peer review is conducted on a double-blind basis. The acceptance rate since 2015 is 44%.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;     &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Consultation and archiving&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2005, articles published in the&nbsp;<em>bulletin de psychologie<\/em>&nbsp;are available online on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cairn.info\/revue-bulletin-de-psychologie.htm\">Cairn<\/a>&nbsp;ans&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cairn-int.info\/journal-bulletin-de-psychologie.htm\">Cairn international<\/a>&nbsp;(paid access for articles published in the last five years) and on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.persee.fr\/collection\/bupsy\">Pers\u00e9e<\/a>&nbsp;(free access, for all issues from 1948 to 2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Ethics<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<em>bulletin de psychologie<\/em>&nbsp;follows the code of ethics prescribed by Cairn (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cairn-int.info\/code-of-ethics.php\">code-of-ethics<\/a>). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Indexing<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Published papers are indexed by the American Psychological Association&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">APA<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/pubs\/databases\/psycinfo\/\">PsycINFO<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About us&nbsp; The&nbsp;bulletin de psychologie&nbsp;contributes to spreading French culture, language, and scientific knowledge. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Original contributions covering the various domains of psychology&nbsp;&nbsp; The editorial independence of the&nbsp;bulletin de psychologie&nbsp;and its spirit of openness encourage the publication of papers that align with the latest research trends, as well as innovative papers that do not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1111","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.bulletindepsychologie.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.bulletindepsychologie.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.bulletindepsychologie.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.bulletindepsychologie.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.bulletindepsychologie.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1111"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/site.bulletindepsychologie.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1176,"href":"https:\/\/site.bulletindepsychologie.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1111\/revisions\/1176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.bulletindepsychologie.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
