Abstract

The article is dedicated to the 45th anniversary of the Russian academic “Psychological Journal” (ISSN 0205–9592). Bibliometric and scientometric indicators of its publication activity are considered in a chronological perspective: the number of publications by year and thematic headings, the number of unique authors, the composition of the core cohort of authors, the distribution of authors by countries and organizations, thematic focus of the journal articles (by headings and clusters), citation ratings of the journal in the Russian Science Citation Index and Web of Science. A conclusion is made about the high scientific and publishing status of the journal. The pages of the “Psychological Journal” published articles that were in tune with their time and raised the most important issues of fundamental and applied psychological science.
