Welcome to Brainwaves, a peer-reviewed psychology journal accepting submissions from Mount Saint Mary College seniors.
This journal publishes research proposals based on a contemporary issue in psychology. Submissions are selected based on how well authors have described past research and the problem, justified their proposal, used sound scientific methods in developing their proposal, and communicated their ideas through good writing. Submissions are selected through a double-blind peer review process.
Current Issue: Volume 5, Fall 2014
Past Issues:
Alumna Editor: Nicole DeFont (also serving as editor for Spring 2015)
Formatting Editor: Rosemarie Whyte

We will be accepting for the Spring 2015 issue on a rolling basis with the final deadline being at the end of April.
Not only do the Brainwaves staff participate in the review process for Brainwaves, but they also volunteer to review papers during the semester for current students as they are working on their proposal.
