Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

Abstract

THE Experimental Psychology Group, a small private society the membership of which is drawn from the teaching and research staffs of British universities and research institutions, and the object of which is to further the experimental and scientific study of psychological problems, has decided to found a new journal, to be known as the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology. While the volume of scientific work within the general field of psychology and the neighbouring fringes of physiology, medicine, biology and physics has greatly increased within the past few years, publication has been severely restricted by lack of a journal devoted exclusively to these fields. Much work has appeared in journals representing other branches of science. The intention is to produce a small journal of high quality in which scientific psychological work, whether experimental or clinical, and whether carried out in psychological or in other research institutions, may find a focus and an outlet. The journal will be edited by R. C. Oldfield, of the Institute of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, who will be assisted by an editorial board of six other members of the Experimental Psychology Group, and it will be published by Messrs. W. Heffer and Sons, Ltd., Cambridge (subscription, 30s. a volume of four parts). It is hoped to produce the first part in March.
