Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition

The Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition (JARMAC) publishes a mix of empirical reports, review articles, and target papers with invited peer commentary. The goal of this unique journal is to reach both psychological scientists working in this field and related areas but also professionals and practitioners who seek to understand and apply research on memory and cognition. In pursuit of these aims, we encourage brevity and crisp, lively prose that appeals to a wide audience. Each paper also includes a General Audience Summary, clearly describing the paper and its practical implications in language accessible to non-specialists.

Empirical reports should convey significant experimental findings. For single-study reports, the combined number of words in the introduction and discussion sections should not normally exceed 2,200 words (3,000 words for multiple studies). These are upper bounds, and authors are strongly encouraged to keep the report as succinct as possible. This limit is not set for the entire manuscript because the journal seeks to encourage a detailed description of method and a results section that reports outcomes from all tasks.

Target articles should not exceed 10,000 words. Authors considering a target article should contact the Editor prior to submission.

JARMAC is an official journal of Society for Applied Research in Memory & Cognition.
