BMC Psychology is looking forward to next week as the journal heads to Washington D.C for    the American Psychological Association Annual Convention.

The APA convention is the largest gathering of psychologists and psychology students in the world, promising to showcase exciting developments at the leading edge of psychological research, with delegate numbers reaching 14 000.

Programs and sessions will cover issues such as health disparities, use of technology, violence, integrated health care, and clinical practice.

Following a successful launch in Feb 2013, BMC Psychology is one of the newer additions to the BMC series portfolio. It is gradually building momentum and on its way to be becoming one of the handful of established open access, open peer reviewed Psychology journals that the field has to offer. We are looking forward to hearing about the latest ‘hot topics’ and speaking with researchers on what they value during the publication process.

Always keen to expand our international board of editors, we would be very happy to talk to both early researchers and more established scholars about working with the journal in future.

If you are also attending the convention and would like to meet the journal’s in-house Executive Editor, please do feel free to get in touch. Alternatively, if you have any questions about the journal or have any suggestions for topics we should be highlighting in the future, Alice Murray would be more than happy to meet up with you at any time –  please contact alice.murray@biomedcentral.com , using the subject line “APA annual convention‘14“.

We look forward to hearing from you!
