Research Article
Articles present extensive, original research that offers significant contributions to the field of computational psychology. Submissions should not exceed 6,000 words excluding abstract, methods, references, and item legends. Authors should include a concise abstract of up to 200 words, unstructured and without references. Up to 10 figures and/or tables are recommended but should not surpass this limit. Articles are subject to open peer review.

Brief Report
Brief Reports provide concise accounts of new findings or preliminary data of particular interest. Manuscripts should be limited to 1,000 words, accompanied by an abstract of up to 200 words (unstructured and unreferenced). A maximum of 3 figures and/or tables may be included. Brief Reports are also subjected to open peer review.

Review
Review articles synthesize and critically analyze recent developments in computational psychology, identifying key advances, controversies, and research gaps. Submissions may be up to 10,000 words and undergo open peer review. There are no strict limits on the number of references, and authors are encouraged to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic.

Theories
Theory articles introduce or elaborate on conceptual frameworks that have the potential to shape further research in computational psychology. Authors may propose new hypotheses, interpretations, or models grounded in current or emerging knowledge. The text may go up to 10,000 words, and all Theory articles are subject to open peer review.

Methodological Tutorial
Methodological Tutorials present detailed instructions, techniques, or protocols vital to the computational psychology community. Submissions should be practical and replicable, with enough detail for others to implement the method. The maximum word count is 15,000 words. All Methodological Tutorials are reviewed through open peer review.

Perspectives
Perspectives offer forward-looking, often speculative or opinion-based commentaries on pressing questions or future directions in the field. These manuscripts may reach 4,000 words and are by invitation only. Although they undergo open peer review, authors are free to include personal insights alongside an objective analysis of key research trends.

Correspondence
Correspondence letters present short, invited commentaries expressing personal perspectives on critical ethical, societal, or political questions shaping scientific progress. Limited to 1,800 words with no primary data and up to 15 references, they spotlight individual viewpoints on publicly significant issues and encourage dialogue within computational psychology. Abstract should not exceed 500 characters. Correspondences are typically by invitation only and are not subject to peer review.
