The Annual Review of Legal Psychology is a multi-discipline scientific and professional journal, which accepts original, unpublished articles in Spanish and English. These articles must be related with topics which fall within the area of legal psychology, and include both the legal and the psychological perspectives. Articles must be empirical contributions about basic or applied research within legal psychology. Activities described in the articles published must follow the professional code of ethics and responsibilities. Potential authors should also be aware that although the Annual Review of Legal Psychology makes use of an anonymous revision process, the director of the journal may make a final decision to reject a manuscript, without sending it for revision, in cases where the content of the paper does not fit the field of the journal, or it has not been prepared in accordance with the rules given to potential contributors. All opinions and comments expressed by the authors of articles are their own responsibility, and do not necessarily reflect those of the journal or its publishers.
