  • Purpose and Scope

    Pensado Psicología (abbreviated title Pensando Psicol.) is an international, electronic, continuous-publication, open-access scientific journal that focuses on clinical, educational, and social psychology. Empirical, theoretical, and interdisciplinary articles in Spanish, English, and Portuguese are welcome, all of which undergo a rigorous double-blind external peer-review process. Its publication is aimed at researchers and carries no cost for authors.
    "Periodicity"
    Pensando Psicología is published semiannually (April–October). The journal may also publish special thematic issues at the initiative of the editor, members of the committees, or external collaborators, which may appear in an extraordinary (additional) issue within the volume.
