Manuscripts that do not directly pertain to the core principles, theories, or empirical research within the field of social psychology, or those that deviate from the journal's defined scope and focus, will not be considered for publication in Frontiers in Social Psychology.

Frontiers’ journals require that manuscripts primarily comprising computational studies of public data, must include appropriate validation. Please refer to the Frontiers Standards for research methodology policy, for more information. Manuscripts not adhering to these standards will not be considered.
