At one time, JEAB editorial policy was perceived by some to consist mainly of dogmatically enforcing a Skinnerian interpretation of all findings reported in the journal. Partly in response to that undeserved reputation, the journal explicitly defined itself as the place to publish research on the behavior of individual organisms, and not as a place that encourages any particular theoretical orientation. My own view is that this should not be the journal's identity; instead, JEAB should be the one journal that seriously considers Skinnerian (and related environment based) interpretations of empirical results, whether or not the study involved an analysis of individual subject behavior and whether or not the Skinnerian analysis is ultimately endorsed by the author.
曾经，一些人认为《实验分析行为杂志》（JEAB）的编辑政策主要是教条式地强制对该杂志上报道的所有研究结果进行斯金纳式解读。部分是为了回应这种不应有的声誉，该杂志明确将自己定义为发表关于个体有机体行为研究的场所，而不是鼓励任何特定理论取向的地方。我个人的观点是，这不应是该杂志的身份定位；相反，JEAB应该是这样一本杂志，它认真考虑对实证结果进行斯金纳式（以及相关的基于环境的）解读，无论该研究是否涉及对个体受试者行为的分析，也无论作者最终是否认可斯金纳式分析。
