Scholarship Booster: My favorite journals

Those interested in my same primary area of interest (cogsci/​philosophy) may like to know what my favorite journals are. (Notice they are heavily weighted for review articles.) Here are some of my favorites:

• Trends in Cognitive Sciences

• Behavioral and Brain Sciences

• Annual Review of Psychology

• Topics in Cognitive Science

• Current Directions in Psychological Science

• Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Cognitive Science

• Mind and Language

• Artificial Intelligence Review

• Philosophy Compass

• Review of Philosophy and Psychology

• Nature Reviews Neuroscience

• Judgment and Decision Making

• Journal of Behavioral Decision Making

• Thinking and Reasoning

Artificial Intelligence Review

How much CS did you have to learn in order to be able to slog through this?

[Kaj_Sotala]

Most of these I’m not very familiar with, but I can definitely second the recommendation for Trends in Cognitive Sciences and Brain and Behavioral Sciences.

I actually considered getting a dead-tree subscription for TiCS, because it’s more likely that I read a physical journal I get to my home than something I have to look up online or in the university library. Unfortunately the price was rather insane.

Thank you!

How do you actually use these? I am used to googling terms for a specific question. Do you regularly look through these journals even if there’s not a specific question you have in mind?

[lukeprog]

For these journals, yes I do.

[Kaj_Sotala]

I’d recommend doing that, yes. (And do far too little of it myself.)
