Aims and scope
Cognition and Emotion is an international peer-reviewed journal exploring emotion and cognitive processes in cognitive and clinical psychology, neuroscience and neuropsychology.

Cognition and Emotion is devoted to the study of emotion, especially to those aspects of emotion related to cognitive processes. The journal aims to bring together work on emotion undertaken by researchers in cognitive psychology, social psychology, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, psychophysiology, neuropsychology/neuroscience, and cognitive science.

The journal publishes research on a range of topics, including:

The role of cognitive processes in emotion elicitation, regulation, and expression;
The impact of emotion on attention, memory, learning, motivation, judgements, and decisions;
The interplay between cognition and emotion in psychopathology, social behaviour, and health-related behaviours;
Cultural, developmental, psychophysiological, and neuroscientific aspects of the relation between cognition and emotion;
The nature of particular emotions or emotionality in general.
Cognition and Emotion offers a variety of formats for paper submission, including full articles, brief articles, registered reports and theory papers.

Cognition and Emotion operates a single anonymized peer review policy. All submitted manuscripts are subject to an initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous referees.
