PRESENTATION OF SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL "MODERN PSYCHOLOGY" AT YSU

Head of the Chair of General Psychology Hrant Avanesyan spoke in his speech on the background of the creation of the journal, as well as spoke about the continuity of the latter.

"The history of the scientific journal has been sourced ten years ago when we decided to organize an international conference in YSU," - said Hrant Avanesyan, - during those years, our foreign partners were skeptical about us. But the conference took place, and the most striking proof of this is that the Center for Applied Psychology was opened thanks to finding a sponsor. The conference, held in 2009, had a large number of participants, and we were printing material in the form of collections. We first thought that these materials should be presented in the form of theses, but then we decided to leave the theses in an electronic version, and the collections over the years have increased and published the "Modern Psychology" scientific journal."

Speaking about the purpose of creating the scientific journal, Hrant Avanesyan noted that it should solve two main problems. The first one should provide the scientific level of the articles. The editorial board of the journal will also highlight the fact of giving the right reference and excluding plagiarism.

The next important issue is to help young people: "The journal will be most beneficial for young people and will assist in the proper presentation of scientific works," - said Hrant Avanesyan in his speech.

An important addition, which will also be in the focus of the journal, is that the analytical articles on all spheres in Armenia will now be found in the journal. The first issue has already touched upon the sports psychology, the media and so on.

At the end, the attendees congratulated the members of the Scientific Board and wished them success in creating and publishing the next issue.
