Frontiers in Cultural Psychology is a Specialty Section of Frontiers in Psychology.
The mutual constitution of culture and mind is a topic of central importance across all of areas of psychology. Frontiers in Cultural Psychology, rather than serving as an outlet for a separate subfield of psychology, serves as a pan-area interdisciplinary meeting ground for the best work on culture, language and mind, bringing together research from social, cognitive, developmental, personality and neuroscience approaches, as well as from psychological anthropology, linguistics and related disciplines.
Frontiers in Cultural Psychology welcomes the following
tier 1 article types: Book Review, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review and Specialty Grand Challenge.
All articles must be submitted directly to Frontiers in Cultural Psychology, where they are processed by the associate and review editors of the Specialty Section.
All articles published in Frontiers in Cultural Psychology will be subjected to the
Frontiers Evaluation System after online publication. Authors of the
original research articles with the highest impact, as judged by many expert readers, will be invited by the Field Chief Editor of Frontiers in Psychology to write a prestigious Frontiers
Focused Review - a tier 2 article. This is referred to as "
democratic tiering". The selection is based on the reader impact over a 4-month period from the date of publication. The selected high impact articles are re-written in a review style centered on the original discovery, and aim to address the wider audience across all of Psychology.
