Organizational Dynamics
Organizational Dynamics aims to be the premier outlet where rigor, reliability, relevance, and timeliness converge. The journal focuses on organizational behavior, human resource management, organizational development, strategic management, and entrepreneurship. Our mission is to turn research into real-world impact by serving as the leading bridge between organizational scholarship and practice. We publish conceptually strong, evidence-informed articles that translate academic insights into actionable guidance for policymakers, educators, organizational leaders, and graduate and executive learners. Rather than emphasizing hypothesis-testing or complex statistical analyses, we focus on applied research presented in clear, accessible language. By fostering a two-way dialogue between theory and application, we aim to advance organizational effectiveness and create meaningful societal impact.- ISSN: 0090-2616
Psychology of Sport and Exercise
An Official Journal of the European Federation of Sport Psychology (FEPSAC)Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. To be considered for publication, manuscripts must make a substantive theoretical or methodological contribution. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication include results from high quality empirical research, reviews, meta-analyses, reports of professional practice (which need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description), registered reports (click here for more details), and commentaries concerning already published PSE papers. Authors should adhere to recognised reporting guidelines for research (e.g., PRISMA guidelines for reviews and meta-analyses; TIDieR guidelines for interventions; CONSORT statement for randomised trials). Registered reports undergo a two-phase review process in which study rationale and methodology are considered prior to the research being undertaken. Authors are welcome to pre-register their study with an external organization (e.g. OSF), but it is not required. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. Quantitative studies should be theoretically informed and empirical research justified with a-priori power estimates provided (drawing on effects sizes from previous meta-analyses and/or specific papers with designs close to the one authors use). Qualitative studies should address the ontological/epistemo... position and methodological rigour of the study. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.Additional information If you wish to contact one of the Editors-in-Chief for any reason, (e.g. becoming a reviewer, interest in joining editorial board, issue about journal policy) please email the Editors-in-Chief. All manuscripts should be presented as concisely as possible. Authors should consider making available some of their material as supplementary electronic material to keep the overall page limit around 30 pages (8000 words) including references, tables, and figures. If manuscripts are mixed-methods, multiple experiments, complex designs, or include large tables and data sets (qualitative and/or quantitative), authors are requested to provide more information about their rationale for a longer page length (more than 8000 words) for their paper during the review process (e.g., in the cover letter to the Editors). The editorial team will then decide on the appropriateness of a longer page length when considering the submission. All submissions are screened by one of the editors before they are sent out for review to assess their suitability for the journal. Hence, there is no need to contact the editors prior to submission. The editors will also consider short communications for publication and such submissions should be a maximum of 15 pages including abstract (150 words max), main text, references, tables, and figures. Commentaries on published PSE papers should be a maximum of 5 pages, including abstract, references, tables, and figures.- ISSN: 1469-0292
Cognitive Systems Research
Cognitive Systems Research is dedicated to the study of human-level cognition. As such, it welcomes papers which advance the understanding, design and applications of cognitive and intelligent systems, both natural and artificial.The journal brings together a broad community studying cognition in its many facets in vivo and in silico, across the developmental spectrum, focusing on individual capacities or on entire architectures. It aims to foster debate and integrate ideas, concepts, constructs, theories, models and techniques from across different disciplines and different perspectives on human-level cognition. The scope of interest includes the study of cognitive capacities and architectures - both brain-inspired and non-brain-inspired - and the application of cognitive systems to real-world problems as far as it offers insights relevant for the understanding of cognition.Cognitive Systems Research therefore welcomes mature and cutting-edge research approaching cognition from a systems-oriented perspective, both theoretical and empirically-informed... in the form of original manuscripts, short communications, opinion articles, systematic reviews, and topical survey articles from the fields of Cognitive Science (including Philosophy of Cognitive Science), Artificial Intelligence/Compute... Science, Cognitive Robotics, Developmental Science, Psychology, and Neuroscience and Neuromorphic Engineering. Empirical studies will be considered if they are supplemented by theoretical analyses and contributions to theory development and/or computational modelling studies. Note that the journal does not publish clinical and medical papers. We also do not publish pure machine learning papers, e.g. studies proposing variants of classifiers or pure algorithmic improvements that bear no connection to cognitive systems research in the sense above.Additionally, Cognitive Systems Research plays a special role in fostering and promoting the 'BICA Challenge' to create a real-life computational equivalent of the human mind by devoting two special issues to BICA AI (Brain-Inspired Cognitive Architectures for Artificial Intelligence) related topics each year.- ISSN: 1389-0417
Behaviour Research and Therapy
An International Multi-Disciplinary Journal. The major focus of Behaviour Research and Therapy is an experimental psychopathology approach to understanding emotional and behavioral disorders and their prevention and treatment, using cognitive, behavioral, and psychophysiological (including neural) methods and models. This includes laboratory-based experimental studies with healthy, at risk and subclinical individuals that inform clinical application as well as studies with clinically severe samples. The following types of submissions are encouraged: theoretical reviews of mechanisms that contribute to psychopathology and that offer new treatment targets; tests of novel, mechanistically focused psychological interventions, especially ones that include theory-driven or experimentally-deriv... predictors, moderators and mediators; and innovations in dissemination and implementation of evidence-based practices into clinical practice in psychology and associated fields, especially those that target underlying mechanisms or focus on novel approaches to treatment delivery. In addition to traditional psychological disorders, the scope of the journal includes behavioural medicine (e.g., chronic pain). The journal will consider manuscripts dealing primarily with measurement and psychometric analyses if relevant to the primary focus of the journal (e.g., transdiagnostic mechanisms).The Editor and Associate Editors will make an initial determination of whether or not submissions fall within the scope of the journal and/or are of sufficient merit and importance to warrant full review.- ISSN: 0005-7967

Cognitive Development
Cognitive Development is an international journal dedicated to publishing high-quality empirical and theoretical research on the development of cognition across the lifespan, from infancy and childhood through adolescence, adulthood, and aging. The journal’s mission is to advance understanding of the mechanisms and processes underlying cognitive growth, change, and individual differences, including both normative and atypical development, as well as cognitive deterioration, in humans and animal models.The journal welcomes submissions on a broad range of topics central to cognitive development, including perception and attention, concept and category formation, writing and drawing, fine and gross motor skills, memory and learning processes, language acquisition and development, digital literacy, numerical and spatial cognition, problem solving and decision making, executive functions and metacognition, social cognition and theory of mind, emotion regulation, and the cognitive neuroscience of development. Studies involving atypical development or special populations are considered when they provide significant theoretical and empirical insights.We publish original empirical articles, theoretical and integrative reviews, meta-analyses, brief reports, and methodological or conceptual papers. A wide range of methodological approaches is supported, including experimental and quasi-experimental studies, longitudinal and cross-sectional designs, training studies, quantified qualitative research, eye-tracking and video analyses, questionnaire and psychometric approaches, neuroimaging and psychophysiological methods, computational modeling, and cross-cultural or comparative studies.Cognitive Development does not consider studies focused solely on adult populations without addressing developmental change, nor research on cognitive development as it relates to business practices, workplace skills, human resources, or management. Clinical case studies, reports based on university teaching evaluations, and computer software development are also outside the scope of the journal. Purely educational policy or applied studies are only considered if they make a substantial theoretical or innovative empirical contribution.All submissions are evaluated for theoretical significance, methodological rigor, transparency, innovation, originality, and clarity of presentation.
