Archive for the Psychology of Religion

The Archive for the Psychology of Religion is the flagship journal for the International Association for the Psychology of Religion. It originated as the Archiv für Religionspsychologie in 1914, establishing it as the oldest periodical in the field. This English-language journal publishes three issues per year, with articles appearing online before the editors assign them to an issue. Psychological theories, principles, and applications form the core emphases of the journal. Contributions are welcomed when they are thoroughly grounded in either quantitative or qualitative methodologies. Ideally, articles are historically situated, critical, and generative. Likewise, given the journal’s global mission, submissions that clearly articulate and represent diverse cultural perspectives are highly valued. Articles that utilize insights from other disciplines are encouraged to the extent that those observations promote more thorough understandings of central psychological elements. Multiple submission types are possible within three primary sections: Theory (major reviews, conceptual development), Research (theory testing, reports), and Pedagogy (tutorials, historical notes). The Archive contains both invited and submitted material, including occasional target articles and responses. Authors may propose Special Issues to the Editor at any time.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
