[Air-L] Special Issue on Social Media

[Rosanna Guadagno]

Dear Colleagues,

We write to invite you to submit a manuscript for consideration in a
special issue title “Psychological Advances in Social Media.” The special
issue is part of a new, innovative journal titled Translational Issues in
Psychological Science, co-sponsored by the American Psychological
Association (APA) and American Psychological Association Graduate Students
(APAGS).

As someone who has published in the area of social media research, we
invite you to submit a manuscript to the third issue of this journal, due
out in the middle of 2016. For this issue the Editors will consider
manuscripts across a broad area of social media research with special
emphasis on:

• The relation between social media use and mental and physical well-being
• The impact of individual differences on social media use
• The implications of social media for clinical research and practice
• Social media and privacy concerns
• Cognitive, social and/or developmental processes in social media use
• Social media and Internet memes
Manuscripts submitted to TPS should be co-authored by at least one
psychologist in training (graduate student, postdoctoral fellow), should be
written concisely for a broad audience, and focus on the practical
implications of the research presented in the manuscript. For more
information about the journal, including detailed instructions to authors,
visit the TPS website (http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/tps).

The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2015. Please feel free to forward
this correspondence to interested colleagues and the psychologists in
training with whom you work.

Warm wishes,

Mary Beth Kenkel, PhD
Editor-in-Chief

About the Journal:

Translational Issues in Psychological Science (TPS) is a critical issues
translational journal, with each issue on a different topic representing
multiple viewpoints on psychological science. Each issue of TPS
concentrates on a single important, timely, and/or potentially
controversial theme in translational science that is of broad interest to
scientists, practitioners, and the general public. Each article covers a
body of basic scientific research and concludes with an application section.

Each issue is edited by a team consisting of the Special Issue Editor, who
is an expert in the topical area, and three mentored Associate Editors, who
are psychologists in advanced stages of training (i.e. advanced doctoral
students or post-doctoral psychologists).

TPS is also unique in the scope of readership. The journal begins with over
25,000 subscribers, consisting of APAGS and APA members, but also
institutions and individuals outside of the association. Further, as it is
included in PsycARTICLES® and PsycINFO®, the most used psychological
databases, members from over 3,300 institutions−a potential 60 million
viewers−have the chance to find and read each article published in TPS.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Best,

Rosanna
