Aims & Scope

Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
