The primary mission of Operant Subjectivity: The International Journal of Q Methodology is to foster understanding of subjectivity through presentation of original research, theoretical and philosophical critique, and methodological clarification. An anonymous peer-review process assists the Editor and Editorial Board to select manuscripts for publication. The journal is committed to the ideas and concepts of Q methodology as enunciated by William Stephenson (1902 - 1989) and, while not precluding alternative viewpoints, encourages contributions compatible with this commitment. Submissions are assumed to be original work for publication not under consideration elsewhere.
