Building Back Better With International Perspectives in Psychology

Abstract

These are auspicious times for the future of the world, and for the sustainability of humankind. As researchers, practitioners and consultants from across the globe, we have a role to play in coshaping that future. With this in mind, and in the spirit of codesign and partnership under Sustainable Development Goal -17, we are delighted to make the following announcement as a prelude to this October 2020 issue of International Perspectives in Psychology: Research, Practice, Consultation (IPP).American Psychological Association's (APA) Division 52 (International Psychology) and Hogrefe Publishing are delighted to announce their new publishing partnership for the Division's scientific journal, IPP. Starting January 2021, the journal will be published by Hogrefe. The entire journal, including all back issues, will be available online on Hogrefe's eContent platform. Both, the Division and Hogrefe, are pleased that IPP will continue to be available in the American Psychological Association's PsycARTICLES database, allowing continuity of access for existing online users.IPP Editor-in-Chief Stuart Carr, PhD, Associate Editor Ines Meyer, PhD, and the entire Editorial Board and Reviewers at IPP are looking forward tremendously to working with Hogrefe's multinational team: "We're all really excited about working with Hogrefe. International perspectives in research and publishing have never been more important for our collective, inclusive, and sustainable future."Hogrefe is a leading scientific publisher for psychology, psychiatry, and mental health, with publishing companies located in 16 countries across Europe and the Americas. These core subject areas are supplemented by publications in nursing, health care, and medicine. Hogrefe's 38 scientific and professional journals are complemented by some 2,500 books in print in various languages, and approximately 2,000 psychological tests, as well as consultancy and other services."The Hogrefe group, with our psychology publishing operations in 16 countries, takes a genuinely international perspective on psychology," says Robert Dimbleby, publishing manager at Hogrefe. "We are thrilled that the Division's journal IPP is now going to join our family of peer-reviewed journals-and are especially looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership."Coinciding with the new partnership, the journal has launched a series of internationally responsive Special Issues.
