!!!!NEW: SOTRAP!!!!

Dear friends and colleagues,

we are very happy and proud to announce the publication of the first issue of our new open science journal „Sexual Offending: Theory, Research, and Prevention (SOTRAP)”, the successor of our former e-journal „Sexual Offender Treatment” (SOT). SOTRAP is part of the PsychOpen GOLD program of the Leibniz Institute for Psychology Information (ZPID; for more information see https://leibniz-psychology.org/en/), which is the leading open science institution for psychology and related disciplines in Germany. All articles can be downloaded completely free (no fees for authors or readers).

Here is the link to the new journal website: https://sotrap.psychopen.eu/index.php/sotrap/index

Here the link to the first issue: https://sotrap.psychopen.eu/index.php/sotrap/issue/view/125

And here the editorial of the first issue, where we explain SOTRAP in more detail: https://sotrap.psychopen.eu/index.php/sotrap/article/view/3657/3657.pdf

We hope that we will receive a lot of high-quality submissions to SOTRAP from you!
