Manuscripts must be relevant to a global readership and typically report on empirical studies, critical reviews and/or applied practice topics of interest to educational and psychological communities. Four manuscript submissions are available: Original Article, Review Article, Applied Practices Article and Book Review. JPCS has four issues per year and is published online.
