Journal information

The Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition® (JARMAC) publishes the highest quality applied research in memory and cognition, in the format of empirical reports, review articles, and target papers with invited peer commentary. The goal of this unique journal is to reach psychological scientists and other researchers working in this field and related areas, as well as professionals and practitioners who seek to understand and apply research on memory and cognition. In pursuit of these aims, we encourage submissions of original and rigorous work that examines memory and cognitive processes and mechanisms and that informs policies and practices. We further encourage brevity and crisp, lively prose that appeals to a wide audience. Each paper also includes a general audience summary, clearly describing the paper and its practical implications in language accessible to nonspecialists.

Empirical reports should convey significant experimental findings. The combined number of words in the introduction and discussion sections should not exceed 2,200 words for single-study reports and 3,000 words for multiple studies (counting the introduction and discussion for each study). These are upper bounds, and authors are expected to keep the report as succinct as possible. This limit is not set for the entire manuscript because the journal seeks to encourage a detailed description of method and a results section that reports outcomes from all tasks.

Target articles should not exceed 10,000 words. Authors considering a target article should contact the editoropens in new window prior to submission.
