Psyarxiv

The PsyArXiv icon represents the psychology preprint repository operated by the Society for Improvement of Psychological Science, providing rapid sharing of psychological and behavioral science research before peer review. This symbol identifies the discipline-specific preprint server built on OSF infrastructure enabling psychologists to share findings immediately, claim priority, and receive feedback. PsyArXiv has become essential infrastructure for accelerating psychological science dissemination while addressing publication delays and replication concerns.

In psychology research workflows, cognitive scientists post experimental findings to PsyArXiv for immediate dissemination and feedback before journal submission. Social psychologists share replication studies that journals might reject for novelty reasons, while methodologists distribute new analytical techniques for community evaluation. The platform's integration with OSF and emphasis on open science practices has made it vital infrastructure for transparent psychology research sharing.

From a disciplinary communication perspective, this icon signifies more than preprint hosting - it represents psychology's embrace of open science and rapid dissemination, enables sharing of null results and replications undervalued by traditional journals, and provides discipline-specific infrastructure supporting methodological reform. This distinction helps users recognize PsyArXiv as transformative infrastructure for psychology's open science movement.

Psyarxiv is one of 158 icons in Academicons, made by James Walsh and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds PsyarxivIcon to components/icons/academicons-psyarxiv.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed PsyarxivIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Psyarxiv icon, or any of 158 Academicons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Psyarxiv", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PsyarxivIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PsyarxivIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Academicons, James Walsh and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are research, repository and psychology. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Psyarxiv in another set.
