The European Journal of Health Psychology – Health Psychology in Europe

In this brief article, the first author notes that it has been 5 years in his role as Editor-in-Chief, and 2 years since the former Zeitschrift für Gesundheitspsychologie was converted into an English-language journal, targeting an international audience. It is time, therefore, to take stock and reflect on the progression of the journal, and to hand over to a new Editor-in-Chief, Heike Spaderna. Since its inception as an international journal, the European Journal of Health Psychology has seen a steady increase in submissions from European countries and beyond. Hand in hand with this internationalization came an extension of topics covered in these submissions. Both these developments bode well for the future, and both authors are confident that the European Journal of Health Psychology will continue to play an important role as a publication outlet for health psychology research across Europe and beyond. The journal now invites submissions for conceptual articles as a new article type along with original articles, reviews, brief reports, and commentaries.
