Psychology and social sciences: journals, conferences and deadlines
Psychology and the social sciences publish in journals; the large annual meetings (APS, SPSP, ASA, APSA, ICA) take abstracts or full papers well in advance. Journals are compared by impact factor, quartile or a national list; preregistration is increasingly expected.
