Journal of Numerical Cognition

An online-only, open-access journal focused on numerical cognition, covering all branches of mathematics — Free of charge for authors and readers

Attention

The Editorial Board of the Journal of Numerical Cognition is currently in the process of moving to a new publisher. Our current publisher, PsychOpen GOLD, will be discontinued at the end of 2027. To enable this process, the journal will pause the possibility of submitting new manuscripts as of 31 July. This pause will not affect articles already in the system.

We thank all authors for their support through this transition. 

Due to the success of the journal, many articles have recently been accepted within a short period. The number of accepted articles currently exceeds the capacity of the production team, resulting in a queue in the publication pipeline. However, authors can easily post their accepted articles on the website.

The Journal aims to be inclusive, and takes numerical cognition to encompass for example all branches of mathematics (including spatial reasoning), and welcomes research for its quality, regardless of whether its origins are in (Cognitive) Psychology, Education, Anthropology, or other disciplines.

We publish original studies, critical commentaries, theoretical position statements and book reviews relevant to the area, emphasizing scholarship, whilst also seeking to bridge theory and practice. Aiming to represent the vibrancy and innovation of empirical work and ideas in the field, we showcase the best contemporary research. We seek a worldwide audience, which the open-access model facilitates.

Moreover, we aim to facilitate communication not only amongst psychologists but also between psychologists and cognate disciplines, to encourage dialogue between theory development and practice with respect to understanding numerical cognition. Our objective is to provide readers with access to high-quality professional information, thus stimulating progress throughout the scientific community. We welcome contributions from researchers and practitioners irrespective of their geographical location.

Cover JNC is the official journal of the Mathematical Cognition and Learning Society (MCLS).
