The aim of the International Journal for Transactional Analysis Research is to
expand the scientific evidence base of transactional analysis. EATA hopes a
solid transactional analysis research base will:
• help TA-practitioners develop and improve their work;
• open dialogues with other psychological orientations;
• enhance TA credibility in academic and to government bodies;
• facilitate national and international decisions about formal accreditation for
TA professionals and communities.
The journal publishes high-quality empirical research using any scientific
paradigm across the full range of TA applications. It also promotes research
comparing TA and other models and non-TA research that has significant
implications for TA theory or practice.
A wide variety of research is welcomed, including but not limited to:
• Pure as well as applied research. Research that tests existing theoretical
models within TA and research that tests the effectiveness of specific
interventions and programs are both of interest;
• Outcome- as well as process-oriented research. Randomised, control group
research designs and real life process research are both seen as relevant;
• Quantitative and qualitative research methods are both encouraged.
The journal has an international and multidisciplinary editorial board and uses
blind peerreview as a method of selecting articles. The journal publishes a
yearly list of reviewers on its website. The reviewers are experts in their
fields and come from different cultures, countries and have different
theoretical and methodological outlooks.
IJTAR reflects the diversity of people using and practicing TA all over the
world. It adheres to ethical principles of equality, inclusion and respect for
diversity. Articles from different cultural contexts are encouraged.
The research published in IJTAR needs to be in line with legal and ethical
requirements: Identities of subjects must be protected, informed consent for
participation must be obtained, and confidentiality of the individual data must
be assured. Copyright conventions must be respected.
Articles are published in English with Abstracts in a range of languages (to be
determined by end 2009)
