The aim of the Statement of Relevance is to broaden the impact of the science reported in the journal and make it easier for interested readers to appreciate and understand our efforts. The Statement of Relevance should explain why the research reported in the submission is of interest and significance beyond the specific sub-area in which it is situated and, ideally, to the public at large. Five to seven relevant keywords should be listed directly under the abstract on the same page. The abstract should be on a separate page and be no longer than 150 words.

The structure described here applies to all articles other than Commentaries. Authors for whom English is not their first language or who have limited experience with APA style are advised to seek input from a skilled and knowledgeable English reader familiar with APA style. Other considerations regarding elements of Psychological Science submissions can be found below.
