The Journal of Human Cognition is an open-access scholarly publication that aims to promote all kinds of excellent written work on issues concerning philosophy and the cognitive sciences.

 

Aim & Scope

 

Aims

 

The primary aim of theJHC is to provide open access to excellent written scholarly work on issues concerning philosophy and the cognitive sciences. On this basis, the journal aims to be a forum for the exchange of important ideas across different scientific disciplines and other cultural boundaries. The journal especially aims to promote fundamental and cutting-edge research in the cognitive sciences, and it seeks to do so by promoting the integration of philosophy and other fields. Authors are therefore strongly encouraged both to ensure that their submitted works are self-sufficient in the sense of being readily intelligible to non-specialist scholars and to include at least one fairly extensive subsection that explains in sufficient detail the significance of the results with regard to relevant philosophical issues. For the same reason, interdisciplinary approaches are strongly encouraged. More generally, submissions should be written—or at least sufficiently framed—for an interdisciplinary audience, thereby fostering a deeper understanding and broader collaboration within the wider research community.

Reviewing Practice

The journal’s reviewing practice is fair, fast, and rigorous. This practice is mainly facilitated by an innovative reviewing procedure that enables the effective collaboration of a large number of people. The linked flowchart offers a schematic overview of this procedure (click here to view the flowchart in your browser). In addition, the journal practises double-anonymous reviewing; the identity of authors will not be revealed to referees unless and until a paper is accepted and published. Authors whose submission has been under review for more than eight weeks will be contacted with an update around this time.
