Introducing the Journal of Cognition

"We are thrilled to present the Journal of Cognition (JoC), the new official journal of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCoP). The submission portal has been online since 19 May 2017 and the editorial team has already started to handle the first submissions. With the startup of JoC, ESCoP says farewell to the Journal of Cognitive Psychology (JCP), which – initially under the title European Journal of Cognitive Psychology (EJCP) – has been ESCoP’s official journal since 1989. In this opening editorial, we briefly look back at the history of EJCP/JCP, explain the decision to discontinue with JCP, and present the role we hope JoC will play in the field of cognitive psychology."
