As of 2026, JEP:HPP will require authors to explicitly report how they detect or prevent AI contamination. We won’t prescribe the solution - this evolves too fast. Instead, we’ll emphasize transparency and rely on peer review, as for all methodological choices. Questions? Contact the Editor. (2/2)

Online studies have transformed psychology—bringing speed, scale, and diversity. But a growing challenge is bots and AI-generated responses that can threaten the integrity of our science. That's why in 2026, JEP:HPP is making a change to raise awareness about this problem. (1/2)

Our junior editors help identify common issues before manuscripts go out to reviewers. Meet the amazing cohort from 2024! Rafael Román-Caballero @rrarroca.bsky.social tinyurl.com/k3fnxz5w Elinor Abado tinyurl.com/4ccud259 Alice Elizabeth Atkin @westcoastalice.bsky.social tinyurl.com/p9nb7f8u

One key insight from pre-external review: Theoretical impact requires more than stating what we do not know yet, or even making predictions based on prior findings. Tell us what fundamentally depends on your work. What core assumptions or principles would shift based on your results?

Meet our intern junior editors! In 2023 we introduced pre-external review so that authors could address common issues with submissions, saving everyone precious time.
