The Association for Psychological Science chooses SAGE to publish 
its prestigious journals

SAGE is very pleased to announce it has signed a 10-year 
agreement to partner with the Association for Psychological 
Science (APS) to publish its four journals beginning in 2010. The 
journals are Psychological Science, one of the most prestigious 
and highly cited journals in the field, Current Directions in 
Psychological Science, Psychological Science in the Public 
Interest and Perspectives on Psychological Science.

The Association for Psychological Science was founded in 1988 as 
the American Psychological Society and has grown into a 
significant and vibrant organization whose impact on national 
policy is well recognized. The science of psychology and the 
academic and scientific exchange valued by scholars in the field 
have advanced enormously over the past 20 years, inspired and 
shaped in no small way by the APS. It is a strong voice for 
psychology, including for researchers, teachers, applied 
scientists, clinical scientists, students, and more. Its journals 
are among the best in the field.

'APS' publishing program is in an era of transition due to the 
growth and success of the journals,' said APS Executive Director 
Alan Kraut. 'We chose SAGE as the publishing partner best suited 
to helping us develop and support this growth over the next 10 
years.'

APS' goal for its journals is the timely communication of 
exemplary science in a format accessible to a variety of 
audiences. Publishers' proposals were judged on the quality of 
their programs and services and on the publisher's commitment to 
psychological science.

'Discussions with the APS began as much as two years ago,' said 
Alison Mudditt, SAGE Executive Vice President. 'We couldn't be 
more pleased that APS has selected SAGE as the publisher best 
suited to help it face the challenges ahead. We are proud of our 
partnerships with many leading associations, and are delighted to 
be working with APS to grow and strengthen their program, as well 
as our own position in this dynamic field.'
