Aging Neuropsychology and Cognition

Aging Neuropsychology and Cognition is published by Taylor & Francis and is in Zone 4 of Psychology in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research, Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies and Memory Processes and Influences, together about 37.7% of its articles. Its main subfields are Cognitive Neuroscience. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)

The purpose of Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition is to (a) publish research on both the normal and pathological aspects of cognitive development in adulthood and aging, and (b) promote the integration of theories, methods, and research findings between the fields of cognitive aging, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. The primary emphasis of the journal is to publish original empirical research that advances our understanding of mechanisms and theoretical underpinnings underlying cognitive functioning in healthy older adults and individuals suffering from age-related cognitive disorders. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: memory, attention, cognitive control, language, cognitive training, cognitive and pharmacological approaches to treatment and rehabilitation, metacognition, social determinants of cognitive functioning in aged samples, and the impact of injury or disease on cognitive processes. Theoretical or methodological papers, critical reviews of a content area, or theoretically relevant case studies will also be considered for publication, on a limited basis. With this renewed focus on cognitive mechanisms, we will no longer accept psychometric or validation papers. Nor will we accept papers that simply use cognition as an outcome measure. We encourage submissions that use neuroscience and neuroimaging methods (e.g., fMRI, fNIRS, EEG, MEG, and non-invasive brain stimulation) towards advancing our understanding of cognition in both normative and pathological forms of aging. Multiple approaches to issues of aging and cognition (e.g., basic, applied, clinical), and multiple methodologies (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental, multivariate correlation) are appropriate. Peer Review: All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Disclaimer

Peer review

Single anonymous peer reviewPublisher website

Community reports come from authors' own submissions (confidence 0.5) and are not a promise from the journal; for publisher figures, the journal's own definitions apply.

A hybrid journal charges the APC only when the author chooses open access; publishing under the subscription model is usually free.

The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.

Excerpts are quoted from the journal's website; "model summary" lines are written by Workers AI and checked against the text. The journal's website is authoritative.
