Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology

GLIP Review

Latest issue

Journal history

The Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology Interest Group of the APS has a long history of supporting academic pursuits, such as in the form of conferences and scholarly newsletters produced by members of the Interest Group. 2005 saw the commencement of another of these pursuits: the publication of an APS endorsed journal, titled Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology Review.

Now in its seventh year as a peer-reviewed DEST eligible publication, the Review is listed on Ulrich's, and indexed in NLA Pandora, EBSCO (LGBT Life database), Proquest (GenderWatch database) and the DOAJ. The 2010 version of the Australian ERA journal rankings has the Review listed as a 'C' journal.

Journal remit

GLIP Review aims to encourage research that challenges the stereotypes and assumptions of pathology that have often inhered to research on lesbians and gay men (amongst others). The aim of the Review is thus to facilitate discussion over the direction of lesbian and gay psychology in Australia, and to provide a forum within which academics, practitioners and lay people may publish.

The Review is open to a broad range of material, and especially welcomes research, commentary and reviews that critically evaluate the status quo in regards to LGBT issues. The Review also seeks papers that redress the imbalance that has thus far focused on the issues facing white lesbians and gay men, to the exclusion of other sexual, gender and racial minority groups. As a result, we are interested in a wide range of academic, practitioner and lay work for inclusion in the Review, such as:  

(7000 words max.)

  • Empirical articles
  • Theoretical pieces

(2500 words max.)

  • Commentaries on LGBT issues and psychology
  • Personal narratives of LGBT experience
  • Conference reports
  • Practitioner reports/field notes
  • Political/media style reports of relevant issues
  • Research in brief - reviews of a favourite/troublesome article/book chapter that you have read and would like to comment on

(1000 words max.)

  • Promotional material for LGBTI relevant issues
  • Book reviews (please contact the Editor for a list of books available)

If you have anything else that you might feel would be of interest to the GLIP Review, please contact the Editor with a proposal or informal inquiry. We also welcome people interested in guest editing an issue on a specific topic – this could involve 'revisiting' a classic text in the area of lesbian and gay psychology, publishing a collection of papers from a conference, or focusing on a current topic relevant to LGBTI communities. We also especially welcome contributions from new researchers in the field, as well as from postgraduate students and practitioners. Finally, we welcome anyone interested in being on the editorial board of the Review, or in reviewing papers for the Review.
