The American Psychological Association is proud to announce the new journal platform, APA Open – in collaboration with the non-profit, open source solution PubPub. This platform supports open access journals published by the APA. Readers will be able to join the community by commenting on published articles.

• Community-Focused Design. The platform is designed to promote community engagement and collaboration.

• Transparent. The high-quality scholarship published across the APA Open platform reflects rigorous publishing standards, such as the APA Style Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS).

• Accessible. The content published on APA Open is freely accessible to readers, available for non-commercial reuse, and with features that present the scholarship as summaries written for a broad audience.

• Responsive. The platform is flexible and we ask for feedback from the community on what is working and what isn’t. Check out our samples.

• One Place for All of Your Science. The platform promotes publishing practices that include the journal article as well as links to shared data, supplemental materials, and more.
