Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences (PIBBS)
Journal Descriptions
Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences (often abbreviated PIBBS) is an international, peer‑reviewed academic journal dedicated to translating advances in behavioral and brain sciences into meaningful insights for public policy. Established in 2014, the journal provides a concise and accessible platform for scientists to present research summaries and scientific reviews that explain how empirical findings from psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and related disciplines can inform policy decisions and societal challenges. Its articles are written to bridge the gap between basic research and policy application — enabling researchers to communicate evidence about human behavior and cognition in ways that are directly relevant to lawmakers, government agencies, funding bodies, and civil society stakeholders. Published in association with the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences (FABBS), PIBBS encourages contributions that highlight key scientific results and their implications for public problems — from education, health, and social welfare to governance, decision‑making, and economic policy. Rather than original empirical papers, many articles provide authoritative reviews and short syntheses of established scientific literatures that show how foundational research can shape policy frameworks. This emphasis makes the journal an important resource both for scholars seeking to impact policy and for policymakers seeking credible scientific evidence. Its interdisciplinary reach and focus on implementation distinguish it as a venue where behavioral science meets policy practice.
