Aims & Scope
Journal of Cognitive Science is an official journal of the International Association for Cognitive Science (IACS, http://ia-cs.org) and published quarterly by the Institute for Cognitive Science at Seoul National University, located in Seoul, Korea.
The Association currently consists of member societies of different countries such as Australia, China, Japan, Korea, and European Union.
However, paper submission by anyone in the whole world is welcome at any time.
Its main concern is to showcase research articles of highest quality and significance within the disciplines of cognitive science, including, but not limited to, philosophy, psychology, linguistics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, aesthetics, anthropology, and education, insofar as it is deemed to be of interest to those who pursue the study of mind.
In particular, we would like to encourage submissions that cross the traditional disciplinary boundaries.
The Journal of Cognitive Science (JCS) is published quarterly on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September, 31 December (founded in 2000) as the official journal of International Association for Cognitive Science (IACS) by the Institute for Cognitive Science at Seoul National University.
It is a SCOPUS, ESCI, EBSCO, KCI journal.
It aims to publish research articles of the highest quality and significance within the disciplines that form cognitive science, including philosophy, psychology, linguistics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, anthropology, and education for Interdisciplinary Journal.
Submissions that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries in either themes or methods are especially encouraged.
AI-associated Cognitive Science will be newly reinforced and papers in this area are encouraged to be submitted.
