The European Psychologist publishes four kinds of contributions:

1. Original Articles (peer reviewed) form an essential section of the journal. Not necessarily focused on European aspects, these present important new findings and ideas, and are written for a non-specialist, general readership in psychology.
   
   
2. Contemporary Reviews (peer reviewed) provide carefully written state-of-the art papers on trends and developments within psychology, with possible reference to European perceptions or fields of specialization.
   
   
3. Reports inform readers about the work of major research and other institutions of psychology in Europe, multicenter studies, as well as European projects and issues in psychology. These contributions can be presented in a lively manner, and may involve such formats as discussions, interviews, debates, or conventional articles.
   
   
4. Commentaries and News: The journal aims to act as a central source of information on important legal, regulatory, ethical, and administrative events of interest to psychologists working throughout Europe. Such items include:
   
   
   
   • Reports on major congresses
   • Calendar of forthcoming meetings
   • Information on key symposia and seminars
   • European funding information about major projects
   • Current data on academic & other major vacancies
   • Reports on legal and regulatory developments
