Introducing the 2023 BPS journals’ Landmark Issue on inequality
The Landmark Issue is an opportunity for our journals to unite in their focus on one common theme of importance to society or the psychological discipline as a whole.
28 July 2023
Each year, one paper is selected or commissioned by each editor from all of the BPS's portfolio of journals to comprise a very special, collaborative multi-journal themed issue.
For 2023, the BPS Editorial Advisory Group chose to commission specially invited papers on the topic of inequality, noting that it can take many forms.
Katherine Berry, chair of the BPS Editorial Advisory Group, says in the editorial:
"We believe that psychological science has the potential to develop understanding of inequality and therefore instigate change in thinking and practice towards embracing different influences and reducing the unequal opportunities that people face."
With published papers from all 11 BPS journals, topics range in coverage from engagement with services in Black African and Caribbean people with psychosis, to children's developing understanding of economic inequality, to workplace gender inequality – and more.
Thanks to our editors for their passion and engagement with the annual Landmark Issue, and to our authors and reviewers for their valuable contributions in enabling such high quality work to reach publication.
We hope you enjoy reading the 2023 Landmark Issue – the content is free to view online.
