APAW Mission Statement


Applied Psychology Around the World (APAW) is one of the official publications of the International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP). We also have two academic journals - Applied Psychology: An International Journal and Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being. Our e-News is published once a month with a series of regular information about Applied Psychology and our community.

Applied Psychology Around the World (APAW) builds on the legacy of the IAAP Bulletin; APAW's ISSN registration number is: 26939-6521. APAW is only distributed online, with three to four thematic issues per year.

The purpose of APAW is to share news and reports about applied psychology, through theme-based articles.

APAW welcome submissions of thematic issues; these can include include scientific research projects, data analysis, information of various kinds (books on the topic, conferences, etc.), and practice related to applied psychology around the world.

Submissions are encouraged from members in all regions of the world. Articles should be written to be understood by a diverse range of readers with differing levels of expertise in psychology (undergraduate students, postgraduate students, practitioners or Professors), in correct English (using the US spell check). Do not hesitate to propose a thematic issue based on a topic related to applied psychology in the world!
