The community asked, and @JEnvPsych delivered! This new editorial confirms that the journal is now open to pure qualitative research once more. This is a great decision for inclusive, novel, and interdisciplinary research in environmental psychology. https://t.co/20yTCpUkQo

We hear responses will be coming soon on this very important issue about #qualitative research in environmental psychology. Fingers crossed we can effect change to keep our field’s main journal open to diversity of thought and knowledge production @JEnvPsych
