As we celebrate five years of the journal, we are delighted to share insights from the Editor-in-Chief: Prof. Ahmed Moustafa
“For over 15 years, I have built a large network of collaborators across different countries. I found a massive chasm between many Eastern and Western countries in terms of Psychology research and practice. By becoming the editor-in-chief of Discover Psychology, I have been working on increasing submissions from both Western and non-Western countries, including Pacific Islands, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
I am now proud to say our editors, reviewers, and authors come from different parts of the world. And this is still working in progress. Our team is still expanding more and more to other regions of the world, to reflect on the status of psychology research and practice in other countries.”
