Psychology Learning & Teaching (ISSN 1475-7257) is an online-only journal published three times a year at www.wwwords.co.uk/PLAT, those three issues constituting one volume. Articles are conventionally typeset and appear as familiar journal articles; proofs are sent to the authors as PDF files; the only real difference is that articles are only available for viewing online (and can then also be saved as files and printed).

Please note that campus-wide access by institutional libraries is only available by paid subscription via the major subscription agents or directly with the publishers.
