Relaunching Individual Differences Research: Bridging past and present
Author(s): William Kelly
Abstract: This editorial introduces the 2025 relaunch of Individual Differences Research (IDR), highlighting efforts to integrate the journal’s historical record with contemporary scholarship. Initiatives include reconstructing missing back volumes (2015–2024) with curated archival and previously unpublished articles and publishing new research in Volume 23 (2025) on a rolling online basis with DOIs and author copyright retention. IDR transitions to an online-only format using article locators while maintaining citation consistency for earlier volumes. The relaunch reflects trends in digital dissemination, open access, and enhanced research discoverability. The journal continues to focus on individual differences across diverse psychological domains, providing a platform that bridges past and present scholarship.
