Cognitive Neuroscience is a peer-reviewed academic journal published four times a year by the Taylor & Francis Group.^[1] It publishes empirical and theoretical articles on all topics in the field of cognitive neuroscience.^[2] These include perception, attention, memory, language, action, decision-making, emotion, and social cognition. It is co-Edited by Jamie Ward of the University of Sussex ^[3] and Sharon Thompson-Schill of the University of Pennsylvania.^[4]

An academic or scholarly journal is a periodical publication in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published. Academic journals serve as permanent and transparent forums for the presentation, scrutiny, and discussion of research. They are usually peer-reviewed or refereed. Content typically takes the form of articles presenting original research, review articles, and book reviews. The purpose of an academic journal, according to Henry Oldenburg, is to give researchers a venue to "impart their knowledge to one another, and contribute what they can to the Grand design of improving natural knowledge, and perfecting all Philosophical Arts, and Sciences."

Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific field that is concerned with the study of the biological processes and aspects that underlie cognition, with a specific focus on the neural connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes. It addresses the questions of how cognitive activities are affected or controlled by neural circuits in the brain. Cognitive neuroscience is a branch of both neuroscience and psychology, overlapping with disciplines such as behavioral neuroscience, cognitive psychology, physiological psychology and affective neuroscience. Cognitive neuroscience relies upon theories in cognitive science coupled with evidence from neurobiology, and computational modeling.

Perception is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information, or the environment.

Aims and scope

The focus of the journal is undergraduate and graduate level neuroscience. The intended audience is college and university neuroscience teachers and students, as well as clinical practitioners and researchers in the field.

Neuroscience scientific study of the nervous system

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. It is a multidisciplinary branch of biology that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, mathematical modeling and psychology to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons and neural circuits. The understanding of the biological basis of learning, memory, behavior, perception, and consciousness has been described by Eric Kandel as the "ultimate challenge" of the biological sciences.

The journal’s format is unusual in publishing shorter articles (of up to 4000 words) that are rapidly reviewed and published online. It also publishes longer (8000 word) discussion and review articles that evaluate current topics in the field, with critical analysis in the form of peer commentaries (800 words). The journal’s stated aim is to publish accepted discussion papers and short report articles in uncorrected form online within 7 days of acceptance. The journal also pledges to publish the final form of these articles online within 6 weeks of acceptance.^[2]

Abstracting and indexing

The journal is indexed in the following databases:^[5]

Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition
Neuroscience Citation Index
PASCAL database, Institut de l’Information Scientifique et Technique (INIST)
PsycINFO
Science Citation Index Expanded
SCOPUS

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is an annual publication by Clarivate Analytics. It has been integrated with the Web of Science and is accessed from the Web of Science-Core Collections. It provides information about academic journals in the natural sciences and social sciences, including impact factors. The JCR was originally published as a part of Science Citation Index. Currently, the JCR, as a distinct service, is based on citations compiled from the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index.

PsycINFO is a database of abstracts of literature in the field of psychology. It is produced by the American Psychological Association and distributed on the association's APA PsycNET and through third-party vendors. It is the electronic version of the now-ceased Psychological Abstracts. In 2000, it absorbed PsycLIT which had been published on CD-ROM.

The Science Citation Index (SCI) is a citation index originally produced by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and created by Eugene Garfield. It was officially launched in 1964. It is now owned by Clarivate Analytics. The larger version covers more than 8,500 notable and significant journals, across 150 disciplines, from 1900 to the present. These are alternatively described as the world's leading journals of science and technology, because of a rigorous selection process.
