Abstract
When they became the first chief editors of the International Review of Social Psychology (IRSP), the goal of Robert Pages and Janine Larrue was to provide better access to texts and research in social psychology. Their legacy continues and extends today. For the 30th anniversary of the journal, the following contribution intends to retrace its origins and evolutions. Following an overview of the history of IRSP, we propose to analyze the characteristics of the articles that have been published during the 30 years of existence of the journal and their evolution over time. For this purpose, we developed a database—available at: osf.io/69x47 —containing the characteristics of the articles published between 1988 and May 1, 2018 (i.e., for each year: title of the articles, volume, type, authors’ names, sex and institutional affiliation, length and associated keywords). This database can be useful to browse IRSP’s literature and facilitate reference search, but can also be used for further research on the evolution of the scientific literature in social psychology (e.g., analysis of the characteristics of the authors/published contents of the field).
期刊介绍:
The International Review of Social Psychology (IRSP) is supported by the Association pour la Diffusion de la Recherche Internationale en Psychologie Sociale (A.D.R.I.P.S.). The International Review of Social Psychology publishes empirical research and theoretical notes in all areas of social psychology. Articles are written preferably in English but can also be written in French. The journal was created to reflect research advances in a field where theoretical and fundamental questions inevitably convey social significance and implications. It emphasizes scientific quality of its publications in every area of social psychology. Any kind of research can be considered, as long as the results significantly enhance the understanding of a general social psychological phenomenon and the methodology is appropriate.
