Details
Neuropsychology strives to be the premiere international outlet for the most creative, innovative, and transformative clinical research on the relationships between the human brain and a broad range of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions. The journal has a 5-year Impact Factor of 3.1 and publishes peer-reviewed, original articles that describe quantitative and qualitative studies, systematic reviews, theoretical papers, and case studies.
Neuropsychology encourages both basic and applied research that examines brain-behavior relationships in the setting of healthy/typical development and in people with various neurological, psychiatric, and medical conditions. The journal publishes articles that address a broad range of brain-behavior topics and is particularly interested in those that address everyday functioning, cultural factors, social determinants of health, brain health (e.g., sleep, physical activity, diet/nutrition, and social/cognitive engagement), and transdiagnostic constructs (e.g., executive functions, impulsivity, mental health neuropsychiatric symptoms, memory, and social cognition). Neuropsychology also welcomes studies on research methods that promote rigor and transparency (e.g., replication studies, pre-registered reports, and robust null findings), as well as state-of-the-art approaches to study design, measurement, analysis, and interpretation (e.g., advanced quantitative methods).
