STM publisher Elsevier has announced the launch of Schizophrenia Research: Cognition, a new open access journal dedicated to publishing original research, concise research reports, brief reports, letters to the editor, and review papers addressing the role of cognitive functioning in schizophrenia. Dr. Philip D. Harvey will serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
As a spin-off from companion journal Schizophrenia Research, which claims to be one of the most recognised journals in the field, Schizophrenia Research: Cognition specialises in providing a forum on all aspects of cognition in schizophrenia, including clinical neuropsychology, neurocognition, social cognition, functional capacity, cognitive and social neuroscience, and aspects of everyday outcome as related to cognition. Articles that compare the influence of cognition and other influences on outcome in schizophrenia will also be published as will research on descriptive characteristics, genetic influences, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, and neuroimaging correlates of these aspects of cognition.
Schizophrenia Research: Cognition is an online-only journal. Articles will be published rapidly after acceptance. The journal will publish the latest developments in the field, which currently are too often scattered among a host of other journals that do not always prominently feature these articles. Schizophrenia Research: Cognition will bring together research from other scientific disciplines including, neuroscience, genomics, and psychiatry.
Published articles are currently available on ScienceDirect and www.SchizResCognition.com
