Latin American Psychology is an open-access virtual journal that publishes works of psychology produced in Latin America or with a Latin American population. It publishes empirical studies and reviews from various fields of psychology with the aim of disseminating Latin American research, making it accessible not only to academic circles in the region but also to non-Spanish-speaking researchers. Accepted manuscripts are published in the language of submission (Spanish or Portuguese) and English.

Every submitted article goes through a peer review process. Accepted articles are published virtually throughout the year, and volumes are compiled at the end of each year.
