Aims & Scope

La revista Psicothema fue fundada en Asturias en 1989 y está editada conjuntamente por la Facultad y el Departamento de Psicología de la Universidad de Oviedo y el Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos del Principado de Asturias. Publica cuatro números al año. Se admiten trabajos tanto de investigación básica como aplicada, pertenecientes a cualquier ámbito de la Psicología, que previamente a su publicación son evaluados anónimamente por revisores externos. Psicothema está incluida en las bases de datos nacionales e internacionales más relevantes, entre las que cabe destacar Psychological Abstracts, Current Contents y MEDLINE/Index Medicus, entre otras. Además, figura en las listas de Factor de Impacto del Journal Citation Reports. Psicothema es una revista abierta a cualquier enfoque u orientación psicológica que venga avalada por la fuerza de los datos y los argumentos, y en la que encuentran acomodo todos los autores que sean capaces de convencer a los revisores de que sus manuscritos tienen la calidad para ser publicados. Psicothema es una revista de acceso abierto lo que significa que todo el contenido está a disposición de cualquier usuario o institución sin cargo alguno. Los usuarios pueden leer, descargar, copiar, distribuir, imprimir, buscar, o realizar enlaces a los textos completos de esta revista sin pedir permiso previo al editor o al autor, siempre y cuando la fuente original sea referenciada. Para acervos y repositorios, se prefiere que la cobertura se realice mediante enlaces a la propia web de Psicothema. Nos parece que una apuesta decidida por la calidad es el mejor modo de servir a nuestros lectores, cuyas sugerencias siempre serán bienvenidas.
