Journal of EMDR Practice and Research (JEMDR), launched in 2007, is devoted to integrative, state-of-the-art papers about EMDR therapy. It is a broadly conceived interdisciplinary journal that stimulates and communicates research and theory about EMDR therapy and its application to clinical practice. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of EMDR therapy and Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory. JEMDR is co-lead by Jenny Ann Rydberg, MA, PhdD cand. (University of Lorraine, Nancy, France) and Derek Farrell, PhD, MBE (Northumbria, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK).
As a member of the Science Partner Journal program, JEMDR will publish on a continuous basis under a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). As an Open Access title, all articles are available to read on the journal website. The journal is currently indexed in PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science (ESCI). JEMDR is currently accepting submissions through Editorial Manager.
“As Editors-in-Chief of JEMDR, we are delighted by our new partnership with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS),” said Rydberg and Farrell. “This partnership puts our journal on a new trajectory toward growth and impact for EMDR therapy. Our ambition, as Editors-in-Chief, has always been to have a robust, scientific journal that is Open Access and ‘fit-for-purpose’ in capturing scholarly research activity from the entire international EMDR community. Our new partnership with AAAS will enable us to do this and assist us in widening the scope and reach of the journal to include articles on EMDR-informed interventions and the broader aspects of trauma capacity building.”
Bill Moran, Publisher of the Science family of journals at AAAS, commented “We look forward to publishing Journal of EMDR Practice and Research. The journal represents several firsts for the program as our first Psychology title and first collaboration with a US-based organization. The journal’s mission to publish the latest in EMDR therapy research and clinical applications exemplifies AAAS’s mission to advance science for the benefit of all. We are pleased that EMDRIA has chosen the AAAS Science Partner Journal program as its new publishing partner for Journal of EMDR Practice and Research.”
