. In a registered report, "authors create a study proposal that includes theoretical and empirical background, research questions/hypotheses, and pilot data (if available). Upon submission, this proposal will then be reviewed prior to data collection, and if accepted, the paper resulting from this peer-reviewed procedure will be published, regardless of the study outcomes". The journal also allows for streamlined review, a process in which a paper that was previously rejected elsewhere can be sent in along with the original decision letter and the reviews. These documents can then be used as additional information by the editors at the EJP. EJP also seeks to increase the visibility of its papers through their blog and social media accounts. The blog is focused on highlighting the work of its authors through interviews, press releases, and journal updates. The blog also serves as a platform for researchers to write guest articles about their empirical work and research interests. The articles are usually written in a less technical style, suitable for a lay audience. In 2021, EJP also started to produce a Newsletter which is shared via the blog, and which provides summaries of every research article in the most recent journal issue.
