\n <\/p>\n

Todd K. Shackelford, distinguished professor and chair of Oakland University\u2019s psychology department, was selected to receive a Springer Nature Editor of Distinction Award for his service as editor of Evolutionary Psychological Science<\/a>, a journal dedicated to exploring the psychological aspects of evolution and behavior.<\/p>\n

The Springer Nature Editor of Distinction Awards are prestigious annual honors given by the academic publisher Springer Nature to recognize top-tier editors and editorial board members across their portfolio of journals.<\/p>\n

“Receiving\u00a0the Editor of\u00a0Distinction Award is wonderful\u00a0recognition for the extraordinary time and investment in the peer review process by members\u00a0of the editorial board and by many dozens of members of the scientific community, who work tirelessly\u00a0to\u00a0ensure that\u00a0Evolutionary Psychological\u00a0Science\u00a0consistently publishes the highest quality empirical and theoretical work in the field,”\u00a0said Shackelford.<\/p>\n

Springer has two types of Editor of Distinction Awards: the Author Service Award and the Editorial Contribution Award. Shackelford received the latter, which recognizes editors for \u201cmeticulous assessment of manuscript submissions and strong stewardship of the peer review process.\u201d <\/p>\n

Honorees are in the top 20% globally for the number of manuscripts sent to peer review, helping safeguard the scientific accuracy of published research.<\/p>\n

“Evolutionary psychological science \u2013 and science more generally \u2013 depends on the peer review process to identify papers that meet strict standards of empirical, methodological and theoretical\u00a0quality sufficient to warrant journal publication and, therefore, entry into the scholarly knowledge base,” said Shackelford.<\/p>\n

Shackelford has edited Evolutionary Psychological Science since he founded the journal in 2014. It features original empirical and theoretical papers that address evolved psychology in humans and nonhumans, with contributions across academic disciplines and geographic boundaries.<\/p>\n
