📢 PsyArXiv 12 Days of Christmas 🎄 🧑‍🎄 🎁

PsyArXiv moderators will be taking a holiday break from Dec 24 to Jan 4. Please avoid uploading work to the archive during this time to prevent a backlog, and expect some delays in moderation. We aim to clear any holiday backlog by Jan 16.

Happy Holidays!

Dear PsyArXiv users!
The OSF platform, which hosts PsyArXiv, has updated the PsyArXiv user interface! Unfortunately, some key moderation functions need repairs after the upgrade. This will delay some moderation decisions this week. 🔧

Thank you for your patience!

Friendly reminder for those submitting manuscripts to PsyArXiv!

Upon submission, moderators will check the preprint (i.e., the PDF file) and the metadata (i.e., the submission form) to ensure it fulfills the guidelines. Make sure you follow them!
