Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology is devoted to publishing social psychological research using the registered report format where a plan for the research is submitted for initial review. The journal aims to foster empirical debate, testing of theories, scientific discovery, and replications, all under the auspices of open scientific communication and exchange. If the plan for research is accepted as being methodologically sound and theoretically important, authors are guaranteed publication of the manuscript irrespective of the outcome of data analysis. In this way, the journal offers the opportunity to publish crucial research questions and ideas to be reviewed before the data are obtained and to be published independent of the outcome of the research. Thereby the journal aims to improve the science of psychology. Results of registered reports are published in full and can be complemented by exploratory results. Suitable topics cover the whole range of contemporary social psychology from any theoretical approach, and can be either fundamental or applied. We also welcome submissions from adjacent disciplines that draw on social psychological methods and theorizing. The journal especially welcomes cooperative submissions (e.g., when different theoretical approaches make opposing predictions), research in which reliable and well-specified conditions are set to allow for discovery, and submissions bridging cultural contexts. Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology publishes original research, replications and extensions, longitudinal and intervention studies, and meta-analyses. Submissions can be considered for publication as regular articles or brief reports. The journal is published under the auspices of the European Association of Social Psychology (EASP) in partnership with the Society of Australasian Social Psychologists (SASP). Peer Review Integrity All published articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and, by default, open (not anonymous) refereeing by independent, expert referees.

Review & acceptance
Review time and acceptance
Review time from article dates manuscript dates registered with Crossref · to
Too few articlesOnly 5 articles from the last 24 months carry both submission and acceptance dates, too few for a median
Only articles that were accepted and published are counted, not the time spent on rejected manuscripts, so this usually runs longer than a publisher's "time to first decision".
