Call for Papers & Abstracts — International Conference on Psychology and Behavioral Sciences

Our call for papers in psychology and the behavioral sciences invites researchers, practitioners, educators and students to submit abstracts for presentation in Oxford on 14–16 May 2027. We welcome experimental, clinical, developmental, social, cognitive and applied studies, qualitative and mixed-methods research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, replications and theoretical work from any country. Contributions may address basic mechanisms, clinical and counselling practice, education, organisations or public policy. The call is open to doctoral candidates, early-career researchers and established academics alike.

Submitting is straightforward. You submit an abstract of 150–250 words with three to five keywords and choose how you would like to present: orally, with a poster or live online. A full paper is optional at this stage. If you would like your work considered for the proceedings, you can include the full paper with your abstract.

Each abstract receives double-blind peer review under the oversight of the Scientific Committee, and you receive the decision by email within 7–14 business days. Authors of accepted abstracts then register to confirm their presentation. Late registration closes on 4 May 2027, so we recommend submitting early to leave time for review, registration and travel planning.

Abstract submission deadline closes on 23 April 2027
