We're so very proud of this! Not much of the journal metrics per se (they don't always reflect well what they're supposed to measure...), but of the fact that we offer a reputable outlet for strong cognitive science outside of commercial logics. Send us your best papers, folks!

This is great to see! Also that @jcgntn.bsky.social has gained a good spot among these outlets. Obviously, I am not impartial (being AE at JoC), but it is great to see that non-profit journals that are backed by scientific societies & focused on serving the scientific community are faring well!

Happy to share that our shared first-author paper with @febedemeyer.bsky.social is now published open access in @jcgntn.bsky.social 🔗 bit.ly/4bt2D8Q We developed and administered an open-source cognitive control test battery with often used tasks (bit.ly/4ql9gyP) in 247 students. Key insights in 🧵

New open access paper in @jcgntn.bsky.social: bit.ly/4bt2D8Q! We developed and validated an open-source cognitive control test battery (bit.ly/4ql9gyP), using a transparent, open science approach. We worked on this for 6 (!!) years, with many lab members, so I'm thrilled to see this published.
