Ongoing Special Issues
This page lists confirmed, open Special Issue calls for IJPR. Each public call is expected to make its scope, editorial leadership, deadline, and submission route clear before authors are invited to submit.
Clear information before submission
How IJPR will present a confirmed Special Issue.
When a Special Issue is ready to receive manuscripts, this page will identify the defined topic, named guest editor or handling editor, affiliation, eligible submission types, current deadline, and the applicable submission route.
Use the regular journal route for work that fits IJPR.
Authors with a manuscript that fits the journal’s psychotherapy practice and research scope can review the standard submission route. A Special Issue designation should not be selected unless it is named in a verified public call.
Prepare with care
Confirm fit and protect sensitive material.
IJPR welcomes work with a substantive connection to psychotherapy practice or research. Authors should use the published guidance to check fit and to prepare clinical or behavioural-health material responsibly.
