W&O Psychology in Europe

It is now more than 5 years since the European Journal of Work of Organizational Psychology changed its policy and course and formulated as its aim to become a serious academic Journal. It recently achieved a major milestone on this trajectory, i.e., inclusion in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) database, which means SSCI will publish the Journal’s impact factor. For many researchers, this is an important aspect in their decision concerning submitting their research papers. The Journal’s readership is worldwide and still increasing. Over the past few years, the Journal has seen a steady increase in the number of manuscripts submitted to be considered for publication, and now a healthy amount of submissions has been reached. The Journal has acquired itself a position in European Work and Organizational Psychology. Therefore, I think, the Journal is well on its way to achieving its main objective. The submissions to the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology come from all around theworld, although, evidently, themajority of submissions come from Europe. Given its position as an all-round European Journal in the field ofWork and Organizational Psychology, the submissions probably can tell us something about European Work and Organizational Psychology. From looking at the submissions, onemight get an impression of the ‘strengths’ and ‘weaknesses’ of EuropeanWork and Organizational Psychology. A first interesting observation is that only a few countries in Europe are actually responsible for the majority of submissions. From the last two years (2003 and 2004), it can be observed that the rank order of countries where submissions have been received from are (in descending order): United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Germany, Finland, and Sweden. Apparently in the other countries people publish primarily in their national language. The English language may be a barrier for a lot of people, but it is my expectation that this will gradually change over time with the expansion and further integration of the European Union. Nevertheless, this fact should be an appeal to scientists from other countries: if one wants to share research findings with other scientists and practitioners and if one wants to be heard, one should become more active on this international forum. Another issue is what kind of papers have been submitted. Of course, one has to be careful here, since there are also specialized journals which will attract most of the submissions dealing with specific topics. Nevertheless, it is apparent that the submissions dealt with a wide variety of topics, covering the classic issues in Work and Organizational Psychology. When looking at the research methods that were employed, a striking observation is that most papers (about 90% of all submissions) are based on
