Upcoming Changes for Psi Chi Journal Submissions
To better serve our members, the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research is moving to a web based manuscript submission, tracking, and peer review software solution. Along with enhanced features to streamline the submission process, this system will allow members to login and check the status of their manuscript. Watch for announcements on our website as we transition to the new system in January.
Other Opportunities
Open Science Framework
Psi Chi is partnering with the Open Science Framework in a large-scale, high-profile, collaborative research project called the Reproducibility Project. This project will attempt to reproduce all the studies published in three prominent psychological journals in 2008. Participation will be included in the Reproducibility Project final report and team members who make substantive contributions will be included as coauthors on this publicized project.

Contribute to Psychological Science as a Participant and/or a Researcher
Psi Chi chapters are invited to contribute to the International Situations Project which aims to contribute to a collective research project from UC Riverside. This 30-minute Internet task asks participants to describe a situation and then complete two Q-Sorts, measuring both situations (RSQ) and personality (RBQ). Psi Chi chapters are encouraged to participate in this National Research Project in coordination with Psi Beta.
