PB&R joins PCI RR

April 2024

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review is pleased to join the Peer Community in Registered Reports as a PCI RR-interested journal. PCI RR is a non-profit, non-commercial community dedicated to receiving, reviewing, and recommending Registered Reports. Stage 1 manuscripts that are peer reviewed and recommended by PCI RR, and address a topic of substantial theoretical significance in cognitive psychology, will be invited for submission to PB&R. PB&R is excited to benefit from the expertise of PCI RR reviewers and contribute to the community; we will aim to invite Stage 1 manuscripts that can be in-principle accepted without additional review so authors can move directly to carrying out their study and preparing their Stage 2 manuscript.

Double-anonymous

Peer Review for

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review to Begin Shortly
June 2025

 

In line with efforts to make publishing more accessible globally and at all career stages, we will pilot double-anonymous peer review for Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. Double-anonymous review masks author identities from reviewers, and vice versa, to minimize potential biases. The Governing Board has approved a one-year double-anonymous pilot, after which we will evaluate its impacts by comparing against the prior single-anonymous process. Analyses will cover submission numbers, review quality, biases, anonymization issues, and author/reviewer surveys. Guidelines will assist authors in writing anonymously, publishing preprints, and self-citation practices.

 

The editorial board will establish clear, fair, and open criteria defining the pilot's success upfront. If double-anonymous review does not continue after the pilot, reasons will be transparent per these criteria. Through this initiative, we aim to improve the publishing process in line with global best practices for accessibility and ethical evaluation.
