Description

PsyCrit is a journal of commentary on published research articles in psychology and behavioral neuroscience. Its aim is rapid on-line publication of comments on and criticisms of experimental and theoretical articles. Submissions will be reviewed by the Editor for clarity, coherence, length – and civility. In exceptional circumstances, the Editor may seek peer advice. Authors are entirely responsible for the accuracy of their facts.
