Journal of Community Psychology (JCP)
Journal Descriptions
The Journal of Community Psychology is a respected peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in the fields of community psychology and social psychology, emphasizing the interplay between individuals and their broader social environments. Since its launch in 1973, the journal has provided a platform for high-quality research that explores how community factors—such as family, neighbourhood, social institutions, social networks, cultural contexts, and public policy—shape human development, behaviour, functioning, and wellbeing. It publishes empirical research articles, theoretical contributions, methodological advancements, critical reviews, and brief reports that deepen understanding of community strengths and challenges, including social inclusion/exclusion, mental health, resilience, prevention and intervention, civic engagement, and social justice. The journal serves interdisciplinary audiences of psychologists, social scientists, practitioners, educators, and policymakers who are interested in evidence-based insights into community processes and outcomes. With a publication frequency of eight issues per year, it reflects ongoing developments in research methods and community-based practice, and is indexed in major academic databases. As part of the Wiley portfolio, the Journal of Community Psychology supports rigorous peer review and broad dissemination of work that advances both theory and practical applications in community contexts.
