Atferli, the journal of the Association for Behavioral Analysis in Iceland, was founded on the fifth anniversary of the association in November 2009. The purpose of Atferli is to be a forum for research in behavioral analysis in Icelandic as well as a critical discussion of theories and concepts in behavioral analysis.

Editorial direction
Atferli accepts articles in applied behavior analysis, clinical psychology, work and safety psychology, methodology, philosophy of behavior analysis and psychology, basic research in behavior analysis, history of behavior analysis and reviews of Icelandic and foreign textbooks and textbooks. The editorial board also specifically asks for terms and translations of behavioral analysis terms in Icelandic. Students in behavioral analysis, both in Iceland and abroad, are especially encouraged to submit research articles. In Atferli, only content that has not been published elsewhere is published.

Publication process
Authors are kindly requested to send articles to the editorial board (jonsi@hi.is), who will inform the author(s) whether the articles will be peer-reviewed. If the article is considered suitable for peer review, it is sent for double-blind and anonymous peer review to two peer reviewers. Peer reviewers have 6 weeks to submit an opinion and that opinion is sent to the authors.
Behavior is an online journal and articles will appear on the journal’s website as soon as the peer review process is complete. This way it is easy for other authors to respond or add to published articles and have their response published in the same issue as the original article. Each issue is published from the beginning of November to the end of October each year.
Authors are asked to adhere to the 5th edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Guidelines. The main rules are the following (translated and localized from Behavior and Philosophy):

Figures and tables, as well as descriptions of figures and tables, should be inserted in the text in the places where the author wants them to appear.

Figures and tables should not go beyond the margins of the written text.
