Guidelines for Submissions
Mind Matters is a journal managed and edited by Wesleyan University students. The Journal publishes articles, both empirical and theoretical, researched and written by Wesleyan students. Topics include, but are not limited to, cognition, social psychology, developmental processes, psychopathology, community psychology, intelligence, cultural psychology, neuroscience, and interdisciplinary work that may extend into other university departments including, but not limited to, sociology, history, or philosophy.
The editors of Mind Matters have appreciated and responded to the strong interest and necessity for a medium in which Wesleyan students will publish and exhibit original, high quality work in psychology and related disciplines. The Journal adds importantly to Wesleyan's strong commitment to encouraging active learning and sharing both in and out of the classroom. In doing so, Mind Matters directly relates to all of Wesleyan's Key Capabilities for authors and editors. Most notably, the Journal adds to the development of effective learners in the areas of Writing; Interpretation; Quantitative Reasoning; Logical Reasoning; Designing, Creating and Realizing; Ethical Reasoning, Information Literacy, and Effective Citizenship.
Using a system of encouraging submissions and a process of peer-review modeled after most professional scholarly journals, the editors of Mind Matters follow a specific decision making and editing process to create a product which meets Wesleyan's expectation of superb academic caliber. Electronic and hard copy versions of each issue, again modeled on professional journals in related disciplines, facilitates effective dissemination of the Journal's content, thus reaching a larger, more diverse readership and participation.
In a word, Mind Matters publishes the best, original student work in psychology and related disciplines to take learning and research out of the classroom, library, or laboratory and share it with the greater community of Wesleyan and beyond.
