The International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP) in conjunction with the International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA) and Wiley-Blackwell have launched a new journal, Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being (AP:HWB).
The mission of this new journal is to provide readers with outstanding articles that present, from an international perspective, the latest data and best practices in the application of psychology to the promotion of well-being and optimal functioning. The keyword 'well-being' has been linked to only 20 journal articles in the year 1999, but to 300 articles in 2006. Such a steep increase in publications on this emerging topic underscores the need for a suitable outlet for research.
