Journal of Psychophysiology Practice and Research

Aims and Scope

Journal of Psychophysiology Practice and Research (JPR) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the promotion of research in the field of psychophysiology. This interdisciplinary journal focuses on the study of the physical and physiological responses of individuals to psychological and sociocultural stimuli and their associated changes in behavior. JPR encourages the submission of innovative research, theoretical works, and clinical findings related to the study of psychophysiological responses and responses that are associated with mental health issues, investigations of social interactions, and exploration of the mental state of individuals in different contexts. 

The aim of JPR is to create a forum for discussion and research that can be used to improve understanding and treatment of psychophysiological phenomena and its related contexts. To this end, the journal publishes original research papers, review articles, and letters addressing topics such as abnormal psychopathology, psychiatric disorders, general psychopathology, biological correlates of mental health, psycho-social phenomena, and psychobiological interactions. JPR also publishes retrospective articles that provide insight into the study of psychophysiological functioning and its associated difficulties.

The scope of the journal covers psychophysiology, psychobiology, psychosomatics, neuroscience, behavioral medicine, psychosocial aspects of psychophysiological processes, physiology, psychology, psychiatry, and other related topics. Studies may include basic research, clinical applications, animal models, and epidemiological studies. 

JPR strives to provide a valuable resource for the scientific community by disseminating original research on psychophysiology and its associated areas, in order to foster collaboration between researchers and practitioners and to contribute to the advancement of psychophysiological practice.

JPR encourages the submission of manuscripts concerning the following topics: biopsychiatric processes and the psychophysiological responses to psychological and sociocultural stimuli; psychophysiological assessment in clinical practice; psychiatric disorders and their psychophysiological bases; psychophysiological, psychosocial, and psychological assessment of psychiatric patients; and psychophysiological adaptation in different contexts. In addition, studies on the links between mental health and biological, physiological, and psychobiological responses are also encouraged.
