Abstract
The Journal of Comparative Psychology (JCP) is the flagship APA journal dedicated to understanding psychological processes from a comparative perspective. Traditionally, "comparative" has meant comparison across species. However, "comparative" means more than just assessing as many species as possible or relating species to each other. I also think of the importance of a "comparative psychology" perspective in two other ways that should be reflected in the journal's publications. I would like to outline a few important points about how I view the mission of JCP, and how my term as chief editor will address some of the major issues that exist for the journal and for the field of comparative psychology more broadly. Preregistration, replication, and the review process are highlighted. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
