Visual Cognition publishes new empirical and theoretical work that advances our understanding of human visual cognition. The journal is devoted to research at the interface of visual perception and cognition, and studies may address any aspect of visual cognition such as object, face, and scene perception; visual attention; visual memory and visual imagery; visual word recognition and reading; eye movement control and vision for action; social vision, and visual development. Besides behavioral methods with healthy human adults, the journal also welcomes reports based on alternative populations or methods such as neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, ERP, MEG) or computational/mathematical modeling.
Visual Cognition welcomes the following types of contribution:
Full Research articles typically involve multiple experiments and a relatively in-depth discussion of the theoretical implications of the work. There are no length restrictions though authors should strive for brevity.
Review articles provide a critical review of a topic area in a way that makes a substantial theoretical contribution. There are no length restrictions.
Brief articles report new and unexpected empirical findings of broad interest and will be favoured for novelty of approach, method, and theoretical impact. Brief Articles are limited to 3000 words including abstract, notes, captions, and appendices, but excluding bibliography, which should not exceed 30 references. Figures and tables should be used sparingly. A word count should be included on the title page.
Opinion papers these are intended as brief to medium length opinion article that make the case for a particular way to advance the research with regard to an important topic in the field of visual cognition. Submissions should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the current state of the field and make a clear case for how we can move forward in meaningful ways. It is essential that the views expressed should be based on an objective view of the field, rather than serve to advance an existing agenda. The goal is to provide an outlet for authors to make a call to action, provoking thoughtful discussion and exciting new research. Submissions will be either by invitation or via a pre-submission discussion with the Chief Editors. Submissions will be subject to peer review, with an emphasis on evaluating the importance of the issue being raised by the author and the extent to which a clear path for future research is presented.
Peer Review: All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
