Editorial

Abstract

I am honored to be selected for and excited to begin the role of editor-in-chief of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP): Personality Processes and Individual Differences (PPID). I first want to thank Lynne Cooper and her team for their work over the past years at the journal. A quick glance at any recent table of contents shows that they have done an excellent job attracting a diverse set of high-quality papers that has furthered JPSP’s reputation as a top outlet for personality research. I look forward to building on their success over the next 6 years. Our team has three primary goals: To continue to improve transparency and openness of the research we publish; to further diversify the journal (including diversity in authors of the papers we publish, the editors and reviewers who evaluate that work, the samples of participants who take part in these studies, and the methods used); and to attract and publish solid scientific studies that make important new contributions to our understanding of PPID.
