Behavioral Science & Policy
Behavioral Science & Policy is a unique peer-reviewed journal that seeks to bridge the divide between behavioral science and practice by facilitating thoughtful application of rigorous empirical social and behavioral science that addresses significant social challenges. BSP publishes research from a broad range of cognitive, social, organizational, and management science disciplines that is currently actionable by policy makers and other practitioners. BSP features a wide variety of topical areas, including (but not limited to) diversity & inclusion, education, energy & the environment, financial decision making, health and health care, happiness and well-being, justice & ethics, management & organizations, poverty & development, and public safety.
BSP seeks content that is concise, accessible, has practical applicability, and exhibits high standards of scientific integrity. Submissions are reviewed by both disciplinary scientists for their rigor and policy/practice experts for their actionability. Professional writing editors work with authors of accepted manuscripts to enhance the accessibility of their work for a broad general audience that includes both specialists and non-specialists. Publications may also be supported by BSP through media promotions, public workshops, and briefings of policy makers and other practitioners.
BSP accepts open submissions in the article categories listed below, sometimes solicits contributions from authors, and circulates open calls for submissions on themed “spotlight” topics.
