About the journal
Cognitive Neuroscience publishes high quality empirical and theoretical papers on any topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience including, but not limited to: perception, attention, memory, language, action, decision-making, emotions, and social cognition. We welcome papers that link together scientific theory with current clinical applications and future clinical translations.
The journal fills an important niche in the market by publishing shorter papers (up to 4000 words) with fast reviewing and rapid online publication. In addition, longer discussion papers will evaluate current hot topics in the field with critical analysis in the form of peer commentary (8000 word reviews, 800 word commentaries).
We aim to publish accepted (but uncorrected) Discussion papers and Short Report articles online within 7 days and in final form within 6 weeks.
There are no page charges and we are able to offer free color printing where color is necessary.
This journal will be an important focal point for researchers in this field.
See Cognitive Neuroscience's dedicated website for full submission, subscription and editorial information.

Instructions to Authors
This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Cognitive Neuroscience is not restrictive with regards to the methodologies that are considered suitable for inclusion. For example, electrophysiology, haemodynamic brain responses, and behavioural measures (e.g. reaction times) are all related to brain function and cognition, even if some are more direct measures of neural activity than others. The methodology only needs to be appropriate to the theoretical questions addressed.
Inclusion of articles in the journal is based on two principles: (1) excellence and (2) it addresses brain-based theories of cognition.
Cognitive Neuroscience publishes three kinds of article:
Short reports
Discussion papers
Commentaries
New articles should be submitted through our ScholarOne Manuscripts site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pcns.
Commentaries are solicited through invitation. If you would be interested in receiving notification of accepted Discussion Papers and added to our list of people who would like to comment on these accepted articles please create a user account in our ScholarOne website and answer 'AGREE' in the appropriate space.
All manuscripts should be submitted in American Psychological Association (APA) format following the latest edition of Publication Manual of the APA (currently 6th edition).
Ethics and Consent Standards
Disclosure of conflicts of interest: At the point of submission authors are required to include a statement disclosing whether potential conflicts of interests do or do not exist. For more information on conflicts of interest see: Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
Copyright - It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to Taylor & Francis. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors retain many rights under Taylor & Francis rights policy.
Seeking permission to use other sources
FORMAT FOR REFERENCES
References follow the format of the American Psychological Association (APA).
References within the text. Use authors' last names, with the year of publication in parentheses after the last author's name, e.g., "Jones and Smith (1987)"; alternatively, "(Brown, 1982; Jones & Smith, 1987; White, Johnson, & Thomas, 1990)". On first citation of references with three to six authors, give all names in full, thereafter use first author "et al.". If more than one article by the same author(s) in the same year is cited, the letters a, b, c etc. should follow the year.
Reference list. A full list of references quoted in the text should be given at the end of the paper in alphabetical order of authors' surnames (or chronologically for a group of references by the same authors), commencing as a new sheet, typed double spaced.
Titles of journals and books should be given in full, e.g.:
Books:
Baddeley, A. D. (1999). Essentials of human memory. Hove, UK: Psychology Press.
Chapter in edited book:
Plomin, R., & Dale, P. S. (2000). Genetics and early language development: A UK study of twins. In D. V. M. Bishop & L. B. Leonard (Eds.), Speech and language impairments in children: Causes, characteristics, intervention and outcome (pp. 35-51). Hove, UK: Psychology Press.
Journal article:
Schwartz, M. F., & Hodgson, C. (2002). A new multiword naming deficit: Evidence and interpretation. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 19, 263-288.
FORMAT FOR TABLES AND FIGURES
Tables. Each of these should be submitted as a separate file. Instructions for placing the table should be given in parentheses in the text, e.g., "(Table 2 about here)". These should be kept to the minimum. Each table should be typed double spaced, giving the heading, e.g., "Table 2", in Arabic numerals, followed by the legend, followed by the table. Make sure that appropriate units are given.
Figures. Figures should only be used when essential and the same data should not be presented both as a figure and in a table. Where possible, related diagrams should be grouped together to form a single figure. Each figure should be on a separate page, not integrated with the text. The figure captions should be typed in a separate section, headed, e.g., "Figure 2", in Arabic numerals. Instructions for placing the figure should be given in parentheses in the text, e.g., "(Figure 2 about here)".
For more detailed guidelines see Preparation of Figure Artwork.
GENERAL FORMATTING
Headings. Indicate headings and subheadings for different sections of the paper clearly. Do not number headings.
Acknowledgements. These should be as brief as possible and typed on a separate sheet at the beginning of the text.
Permission to quote. Any direct quotation, regardless of length, must be accompanied by a reference citation that includes a page number. Any quote over six manuscript lines should have formal written permission to quote from the copyright owner. It is the author's responsibility to determine whether permission is required from the copyright owner and, if so, to obtain it. (See Seeking permission to use other sources for a template letter to use when seeking copyright permission.)
Footnotes. These should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Essential footnotes should be indicated by superscript figures in the text and collected on a separate sheet at the end of the manuscript.
Statistics. Results of statistical tests should be given in the following form:
"... results showed an effect of group, F(2, 21) = 13.74, MSE = 451.98, p < .001, but there was no effect of repeated trials, F(5, 105) = 1.44, MSE = 17.70, and no interaction, F(10, 105) = 1.34, MSE = 17.70."
Other tests should be reported in a similar manner to the above example of an F-ratio. For a fuller explanation of statistical presentation, see pages 136-147 of the APA Publication Manual (5th ed.). For guidelines on presenting statistical significance, see pages 24-25.
Abbreviations. Abbreviations that are specific to a particular manuscript or to a very specific area of research should be avoided, and authors will be asked to spell out in full any such abbreviations throughout the text. Standard abbreviations such as RT for reaction time, SOA for stimulus onset asynchrony or other standard abbreviations that will be readily understood by readers of the journal are acceptable. Experimental conditions should be named in full, except in tables and figures.
