Transitions from Old to New Models

Vol. 12 No. 2 (2025)

Announcement: 

IJPS is transitioning to a rolling publication schedule. Our traditional publication schedule of two issues per year (June and December) will continue; however, instead of a single publication date, articles will be added to those issues as the editorial process is completed by our team. We value and honor the work and passion freely given by our authors, reviewers, and editors, and we are grateful for your understanding and for sharing our commitment to the mission of IJPS.

A square abstract painting that looks like a shelf of two flat rocks viewed from above at close distance through lake water. The top quarter of the painting is a gradient of deep blue, and the majority of the lower portion is gray rocks covered with what looks like large sheets of aquatic plants in shades of ochre, maroon, and sea green. Diffuse patterns resembling river estuaries run through the plant colors.

Partnership and Innovation

Vol. 10 No. 2 (2023)

Artwork is a square piece using paper, marker, natural fibers, and dried flowers. The image is a nature scene with a dark forest in the upper left, and hills, sky, and a river. A large, flying crow with its mouth open is prominent in the center, and carries a large anatomically-correct human heart with its feet. The crow, known to hold death ceremonies or funerals for its kin, is protecting and making space for the heart, symbolizing the vulnerability and preciousness of our lives that become apparent when we lose those beloved to us. The river represents the tears that cleanse and refresh not only the joy and gratitude for loving and having been loved, but also the heartache of loss. Night and day, constellations and clouds, the Earth,and that which grows from it, represent change, the one thing we can rely on.
