The German-language Zeitschrift für Gesundheitspsychologie [Journal of Health Psychology] was established in 1993 to provide a publication platform for the rapidly growing health psychology literature from the German-speaking countries. Although the journal was not affiliated officially with the Division of Health Psychology (Fachgruppe Gesundheitspsychologie) within the German Psychological Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychologie), it contributed significantly to the establishment of the discipline of health psychology in Germany. Up until today, the Zeitschrift für Gesundheitspsychologie has been one of the most important publication outlets for health psychology research in the German-speaking countries. To improve the accessibility of the research published in the journal to an international audience, authors have for several years been able to publish their articles in English in the journal. In parallel, a complete transformation into an English-language journal was considered and discussed by the previous editors of the journal and with members of the Division of Health Psychology and other colleagues in this field. The outcome of this discussion is now with us: the journal’s language of publication will be English from the current issue onwards. We are confident that this transformation into English will contribute to the visibility and also reception of the research published in the journal. This change of course required some preparation: In 2016, with the publication of volume 24, the last volume in which German-language articles appeared, the subtitle “European Journal of Health Psychology” was introduced. 2017 was spent attracting and reviewing English-language papers. And now from 2018 onwards, starting with volume 25, European Journal of Health Psychology will be the journal’s main title. The choice of the journal’s title was preceded by intensive discussions within the editorial team, a scoping-review by the publisher, and – due to its closeness in name – consultation with the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS). The EHPS Executive Committee unanimously agreed with this choice of journal title and suggested a closer affiliation of the journal with the EHPS in the future. It’s all in the name – as it is for the European Journal of Health Psychology. As was the case for its predecessor, the European Journal of Health Psychology is dedicated to the publication of empirical or experimental research in health psychology, including applications, methodological developments, and comprehensive and critical literature reviews on the theory and application of psychological approaches to health and disease. The journal welcomes contributions from around the world, but acknowledges its origin in and relatedness to European health psychology. Editors and publisher are convinced that the internationalization of the German Zeitschrift für Gesundheitspsychologie, which will also be reflected in an extended editorial board, will continue to contribute to the success of health psychology research and its implementation in health care. We look forward to numerous contributions to the European Journal of Health Psychology and invite you and/ or your working group to submit papers on all aspects of the field! All manuscripts, including Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM), should be submitted online at http:// www.editorialmanager.com/zgp, where full instructions to authors are also available. On behalf of the editorial board – welcome to the European Journal of Health Psychology!

趋势与转变

建立于1993年的德语《健康心理学杂志》（ZeitschriftfürGesundheitspsychologie）为迅速发展的德语国家的健康心理学文献提供了出版平台。尽管该杂志并未正式隶属于德国心理学会（Deutsche GesellschaftfürPsychologie）的健康心理学系（Fachgruppe Gesundheitspsychologie），但为德国健康心理学学科的建立做出了巨大贡献。直到今天，《时代精神》一直是德语国家最重要的健康心理学研究出版物之一。为了提高国际上该杂志发表的研究的可及性，作者已经有好几年能够在期刊上用英语发表文章了。同时，该期刊的前任编辑以及健康心理学系的成员和该领域的其他同事考虑并讨论了将其完全转换为英语期刊的方法。讨论的结果现在已经交给我们：从本期开始，该期刊的出版语言将为英文。我们相信，这种英语翻译将有助于该杂志发表的研究成果的知名度和接受度。这种变化的过程需要做一些准备：2016年，随着第24卷的出版，这是德语文章出现的最后一卷，引入了副标题为“欧洲健康心理学期刊”。2017年花在吸引和审查英语论文上。从2018年开始，从第25卷开始，《欧洲健康心理学杂志》将成为该杂志的主要标题。在选择期刊名称之前，需要经过编辑团队的深入讨论，由出版商进行范围界定审查，并且由于名称的亲密性，还需要咨询欧洲健康心理学会（EHPS）。EHPS执行委员会一致同意选择期刊名称，并建议将来与EHPS建立更紧密的隶属关系。这全都是名字–正如《欧洲健康心理学杂志》所写。与前任一样，《欧洲健康心理学杂志》致力于出版有关健康心理学的经验或实验研究，包括应用，方法学的发展，以及关于心理学方法在健康和疾病中的理论和应用的综合性和批判性文献综述。该杂志欢迎来自世界各地的贡献，但承认其起源于欧洲健康心理学并与之相关。编辑者和出版商深信，德国《时代精神》的国际化（也将反映在扩展的编委会中）将继续为健康心理学研究的成功及其在卫生保健中的实施做出贡献。我们期待为《欧洲健康心理学杂志》做出许多贡献，并邀请您和/或您的工作组提交有关该领域各个方面的论文！所有手稿，包括电子补充材料（ESM），应该在http://www.editorialmanager.com/zgp上在线提交，这里也提供了对作者的完整说明。代表编辑委员会–欢迎阅读《欧洲健康心理学杂志》！
