Decision

Aims & Scope

Decision is a multidisciplinary research journal focused on a theoretical understanding of neural, cognitive, social, and economic aspects of human judgment and decision-making behavior.

Decision publishes articles on all areas related to judgment and decision-making research including probabilistic inference, prediction, evaluation, choice, decisions under risk or uncertainty, and economic games.

The journal publishes articles that present new theory or new empirical research addressing theoretical issues or both.

To achieve this goal, Decision publishes three types of articles: long articles that make major theoretical contributions, shorter articles that make major empirical contributions addressing important theoretical issues, and brief review articles that target rapidly rising theoretical trends or new theoretical topics in decision making.
