Journal of Social Cognition and Communication is an international peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to advancing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of social cognition, communication studies, and contemporary social life. The journal provides a scholarly platform for theoretical reflection, empirical investigation, and methodological innovation addressing how individuals and societies perceive, interpret, and communicate meaning within evolving cultural, technological, and institutional contexts.

The journal is particularly interested in research that examines the cognitive and social mechanisms underlying communication processes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, media cognition, interpersonal communication, public opinion formation, information processing in digital environments, social perception and identity, cultural communication practices, and the cognitive dimensions of social interaction. As communication systems continue to evolve through digital platforms, artificial intelligence, and global media infrastructures, the journal encourages work that critically explores the relationship between cognition, technology, and society.

The journal publishes original research articles, theoretical papers, review articles, methodological studies, short communications, and scholarly book reviews. All submissions undergo a rigorous double-anonymous peer review process to ensure academic quality, intellectual originality, and methodological rigor. Manuscripts are evaluated solely on scholarly merit, relevance to the journal’s scope, and adherence to recognized standards of research integrity and publication ethics.

Committed to transparent and responsible scholarly communication, the journal operates under an open access model and supports broad dissemination of research findings within the global academic community. The journal welcomes contributions from scholars across disciplines including communication studies, social psychology, media studies, sociology, digital humanities, political communication, and related fields.

Published biannually, Journal of Social Cognition and Communication aims to foster dialogue across disciplinary boundaries and to contribute to a deeper understanding of the cognitive foundations of communication in an increasingly complex social and media landscape.
