ALT Statement of commitment: Games: Research and Practice will automatically offer Stage 1 in-principle acceptance (IPA) to any Stage 1 RR within the journal’s disciplinary scope that receives IPA at PCI RR, and will accept without further peer review any Stage 2 RR that has been recommended by PCI RR, subject to the authors paying any applicable article processing charge. Disciplinary scope: Empirical research on games and playable media spanning academic research and industry practice, including game and playful design (mechanics, narrative, aesthetics); development (programming, production); evaluation (playtesting, analytics); player experience and psychology; applied games and gamification; education; graphics, virtual/augmented reality and AI for games; esports and community; and cultural, social, and ethical issues.
ALT In 2024, Infant and Child Development (ICD) withdrew as a PCI RR-friendly journal and reneged on three Stage 1 recommendations issued by PCI RR. In addition, Wiley – the publisher of ICD – notified PCI RR and the PCI core team of its decision to withdraw all Wiley journals from PCI and PCI RR, including an additional 9 PCI-friendly journals. Finally, Wiley appears to have banned all of its ~1600 journals from considering submissions that have been previously reviewed by PCI or PCI RR. This statement explains the history of ICD joining PCI RR and developments that led to the current outcome. The PCI RR Managing Board believes that this shift in policy to become “PCI-hostile” renders Wiley journals incompatible not only with community-based preprint review but with preprint archiving in general.
ALT Statement of commitment: Science and Medicine in Football will automatically offer Stage 1 in-principle acceptance (IPA) to any Stage 1 RR within the journal’s disciplinary scope that receives IPA at PCI RR, and will accept without further peer review any Stage 2 RR that has been recommended by PCI RR, subject to the manuscript meeting the applicable journal requirements concerning statistical thresholds, bias control, and formatting. Disciplinary scope: Empirical research that advances theoretical knowledge, methodological approaches and the professional practice associated with the sport of football, including sports medicine, epidemiology, prevention, rehabilitation, physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, training and testing, performance analysis, sport psychology and coaching.

ALT Statement of commitment: Personality Science will automatically offer Stage 1 in-principle acceptance (IPA) to any Stage 1 RR within the journal’s disciplinary scope that receives IPA at PCI RR, and will accept without further peer review any Stage 2 RR that has been recommended by PCI RR, subject to the manuscript falling within the journal's annual publication quota. Disciplinary scope: Research in all areas of personality research, including personality psychology as well as adjacent fields such as genetics, anthropology, sociology, computer science, economics, educational science, medicine, and political science. Scope includes studies examining differences between and within individuals or groups of individuals in biological, psychological, and social origins, expressions, structures, dynamics, processes, mechanisms, functioning, development, and consequences, as well as non-pathological and pathological individual differences between and within humans, animals, virtual avatars
ALT Statement of commitment: First Language will automatically offer Stage 1 in-principle acceptance (IPA) to any Stage 1 RR within the journal’s disciplinary scope that receives IPA at PCI RR, and will accept without further peer review any Stage 2 RR that has been recommended by PCI RR, subject to the manuscript meeting the applicable journal requirements concerning bias control and formatting. Disciplinary scope: Research on children's language development from across a range of disciplinary perspectives, including psychology, linguistics, anthropology, cognitive science, neuroscience, communication, sociology and education. Note that studies on reading development where the focus is on children's development of code-based skills rather than language per se, and studies on language teaching, are not within the disciplinary scope.
ALT What is a PCI RR-friendly journal? A PCI RR-friendly journal endorses the PCI RR review criteria and commits to accepting without further peer review any manuscript that achieves a positive final recommendation from PCI RR while also meeting any additional procedural requirements that do not require further scientific evaluation by the journal.
