Guidelines for the EHPS newsletter

General information

The newsletter is sent weekly (Fridays) by EasyConferences.

A newsletter will be sent if at least one item was submitted by Wednesday at midnight (23:59 CET).

All EHPS members may submit newsletter items.

Items have to be sent to Sharon Cahill (the EHPS administrator) through the form below, who collects and forwards the approved items to EasyConferences.

If it is unclear whether an item should be included, the EHPS administrator will consult with the EHPS Secretary, who oversees the newsletter.

Newsletter format

To ensure consistency and efficient processing, all newsletter items must follow these submission rules:
Each item must include a clearly defined title.
The title should be concise and descriptive, reflecting the main purpose of the announcement.
The body of the item must be text only.
Simple formatting such as bold, italic, and bullet points is permitted. Complex formatting, embedded images, graphics, and tables are not allowed.
No file attachments are accepted.
Authors who wish to link to a document (e.g., a PDF, flyer, or poster) must upload the file themselves to an external online location (e.g., institutional website, cloud storage, project page) and provide the link within the text. The sender is responsible for ensuring that the link works and remains accessible.
Newsletter items that do not comply with these formatting requirements may be returned for revision or excluded from that week’s newsletter.

Submit a newsletter item

Use the following form to submit the newsletter item for approval:

    Items that will always be included in the newsletter

    announcements by the EHPS EC, its subcommittees (i.e., CREATE, EMPOWER, SYNERGY), standing committees, SIGs and Task and Finish Groups, e.g. regarding activities such as webinars or deadlines for awards etc.

    announcements by the EHPS publications, such as calls for submissions or editorial positions and announcements of new issues 

    non-commercial training opportunities offered by EHPS members that are relevant to EHPS members (e.g., webinars, summer schools)
    job postings (e.g., for research assistants, PhD students, postdocs or professor positions) by EHPS members
    announcements by the European Federation of Psychology Associations (EFPA) or the European Consortium of Psychological Science (ECPS) and their respective member organisations, as long as they are immediately relevant to EHPS members
    research conducted by EHPS members for which EHPS members are a relevant target group (e.g., research on research practices or on individuals interacting with patient populations) can be advertised in the newsletter; research targeted at the general public that may also include EHPS members (e.g., surveys, interview studies or online experiments) cannot be advertised in the newsletter
