Welcoming two new editors-in-chief for our journals

Professor Dawn Watling, professor of psychology and pro-vice-chancellor (postgraduate research) at Royal Holloway, University of London, and former associate editor for Infant and Child Development, has been appointed as co-editor-in-chief of the British Journal of Developmental Psychology (BJDP).

Dawn joins us with an expertise in using a variety of developmental methods and approaches. She is seeking to promote interdisciplinary research and work where researchers have partnered with organisations and/or those who have lived experience to co-design research.

Published quarterly, the BJDP is a leading international journal publishing scholarship on all aspects of psychological development across the lifespan. It welcomes original empirical research, novel theoretical reviews, methodological papers, and systematic reviews.

Sun-Joo Cho, professor of quantitative methods in the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University, has joined us as editor-in-chief of the British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology (BJMSP).

Sun-Joo has served as both an associate editor and a consulting editor for journals including Psychometrika, Journal of Educational Measurement, Psychological Methods, Behavior Research Methods, and International Journal of Testing.

Sun-Joo brings expertise in statistical modelling of individual differences within complex data structures using general modelling frameworks, and a deep understanding of context-sensitive research methods. Within this new role she is seeking to promote innovative methodologies and foster a diverse and inclusive academic community.

Now in Volume 77, BJMSP is a leading international, interdisciplinary journal publishing advances in quantitative methodologies in psychology.
