Note. This summary is compiled from the 2013 annual reports of the Council of Editors and from Central Office records. Corresponding figures for 2012 can be found in the July–August 2013 issue of American Psychologist. Numbers are rounded off to the nearest whole number. Jnl. ⫽ Journal; JEP ⫽ Journal of Experimental Psychology. a Includes manuscripts for which final editorial decisions had not been made as of December 31, 2013. By the date of this report, decisions will have been reached on most of these manuscripts. b The rejection rate indicates the percentage of submitted manuscripts not accepted for publication in a journal. For example, a rejection rate of 76% means that manuscripts submitted to a journal have a 24% chance of acceptance. The average rejection rate for all journals is calculated by dividing total acceptances by total submissions (with pending manuscripts factored out) and subtracting from 100%. It is not an average of the individual journal rejection rates. c Includes articles, brief reports, case reports, discussions, monographs, and brief substantive items. d “Average lag in months” is calculated using the acceptance and publication dates for all manuscripts published in 2013. As available, this lag is reported for manuscripts published first online and then in print. e Data for the editors and incoming editors were combined in order to reflect activity for the journals as a whole. f Includes award addresses, correction notices, editorials, and obituaries.
