Global Environmental Psychology

A new online-only, open-access journal committed to open science and diversity

Free of charge for authors and readers

Global Environmental Psychology (GEP) is a peer-reviewed, fully open journal that is published online under the PsychOpen GOLD programme of the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID). GEP is endorsed by the International Association of People-Environment Studies (IAPS), by the environmental psychology section of the German Psychological Society (DGPs), and the Society for Environmental, Population, & Conservation Psychology (Division 34 of the American Psychological Association).

GEP has had an excellent start with many regular submissions and two special issues. The articles for the special issue “Living with Environmental Change,” edited by Charles Ogunbode and Susan Clayton, are appearing steadily. The articles in the second special issue entitled “Responding to the Socio-Ecological Crisis: Collective Action and Activism,” which are edited by Sara Vestergren, Sebastian Bamberg, and Winnifred Louis, will be published simultaneously next spring. 

Due to the successful launch of the journal, many articles have recently been accepted close in time. The number of accepted articles currently exceeds the capacity of the production team, resulting in a queue in the publication pipeline. However, authors can easily post their accepted articles on the website (see https://gep.psychopen.eu/index.php/gep/aam).
