About the Journal of Memory
The Journal of Memory (JM) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of memory research. It publishes basic, experimental, cognitive, behavioral, neuroscientific and clinical research on how memories are encoded, consolidated, stored, retrieved and forgotten. Its first volume was published in 2018.
Purpose and readership
Evidence on how memory works
JM serves researchers, clinicians and educators who need sound evidence on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of memory, on how memory fails, and on how it is measured.
JM publishes research on human memory across psychology and neuroscience. The journal considers work from laboratory, clinical, community and field settings, and from any region of the world.
Its aims are to publish methodologically sound work that advances understanding of memory, to support rigorous methods and transparent reporting in memory science, and to make the results freely available to everyone who can use them.
The journal welcomes contributions from cognitive psychology, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, neuropsychology, clinical research on memory, psychometrics, and the social and cultural study of remembering. The Aims and Scope page describes the scope and eligibility in full.
