Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Wellbeing welcomes timely original high-quality scholarly articles of appropriate length on the topic of wellbeing, broadly construed. Although focused on original ideas, the IJW also publishes competent and timely review articles and critical notices. Book reviews are at the request of the editors only. We encourage submissions that are genuinely interdisciplinary (i.e. that draw on research from more than one discipline and will be of value to wellbeing researchers from more than one discipline), but we will also consider wellbeing research that is uni-disciplinary if it is of exceptional quality (e.g., has aspects such as includes multiple studies, diverse samples, sophisticated analysis, or is thought leading).
