Journal of NeuroPhilosophy Accepted for Indexing in APA PsycInfo®

11.10.2026

We are delighted to announce that the Journal of NeuroPhilosophy has been officially accepted for indexing in APA PsycInfo®, the renowned bibliographic database of the American Psychological Association (APA). This important achievement marks a significant milestone in the journal’s development and represents an important step forward in our ongoing commitment to advancing interdisciplinary scholarship across neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and consciousness studies.

The acceptance decision was communicated by APA Publishing following the evaluation of the journal by the APA PsycInfo Journal Evaluation Committee. Indexing coverage will begin with the journal’s current issue.

We are honored that the Journal of NeuroPhilosophy has been selected for inclusion in APA PsycInfo, a leading resource for scholarly literature in psychology and related behavioral and social sciences. We view this achievement as recognition of the journal’s academic scope, editorial commitment, and contribution to the growing dialogue between neuroscience, philosophy, and the sciences of the mind.

The relationship between the brain, mind, consciousness, cognition, and human experience has become one of the most important areas of contemporary scientific and philosophical inquiry. Addressing these questions requires collaboration across traditional disciplinary boundaries, bringing together empirical research, conceptual analysis, theoretical innovation, and philosophical reflection.

The Journal of NeuroPhilosophy was established to provide an international scholarly platform for this kind of interdisciplinary engagement. By publishing research that connects neuroscience with philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and consciousness studies, the journal seeks to encourage rigorous investigation of the fundamental questions surrounding the brain and the mind.

Acceptance for indexing in APA PsycInfo represents an important opportunity to strengthen the international discoverability of this work. Inclusion in the database will help make the journal’s scholarly contributions more accessible to researchers, academics, clinicians, and students exploring topics across psychology and related disciplines. It will also facilitate the discovery of relevant articles by scholars whose research questions extend beyond the boundaries of any single academic field.

We believe that this development will contribute to greater engagement with the journal’s published research and support the continued growth of an international community interested in the scientific and philosophical dimensions of mind and brain research.

The acceptance of the Journal of NeuroPhilosophy for APA PsycInfo indexing is an important development in our efforts to build a reliable, internationally oriented, and academically rigorous scholarly publication.

The journal is committed to maintaining a rigorous peer-review process, promoting responsible research and publication practices, and supporting the dissemination of original scholarly contributions. All articles are published in English, and the journal assigns Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to its publications to support persistent identification and reliable citation.

We regard scholarly publishing as a responsibility that extends beyond the publication of individual articles. It also involves creating an environment in which researchers can exchange ideas, challenge established assumptions, develop new conceptual frameworks, and explore complex questions through interdisciplinary collaboration.

Our inclusion in APA PsycInfo strengthens our commitment to these principles and encourages us to continue developing the journal in accordance with the expectations of the international academic community.

The Journal of NeuroPhilosophy welcomes research that explores the many dimensions of the relationship between neural processes, cognition, subjective experience, and philosophical inquiry. Our interdisciplinary scope reflects the understanding that some of the most challenging questions in contemporary science cannot be adequately addressed through a single methodological or theoretical perspective.

The journal is particularly interested in work that advances discussion in areas including:

  • Neuroscience and philosophy: conceptual and philosophical questions arising from contemporary neuroscience, including the interpretation of neural mechanisms and their implications for understanding the mind.

  • Consciousness studies: theoretical, empirical, and philosophical investigations of conscious experience, subjective awareness, and the relationship between brain activity and experience.

  • Cognitive science and psychology: research addressing perception, attention, memory, reasoning, emotion, selfhood, and other dimensions of cognition and behavior.

  • Artificial intelligence and the mind: interdisciplinary perspectives on intelligence, cognition, representation, machine learning, and the conceptual questions raised by artificial systems.

  • Philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience: investigations into the nature of mental states, embodiment, agency, personal identity, and the explanatory relationship between psychological and neural processes.

  • Interdisciplinary and theoretical approaches: original contributions that connect empirical findings with conceptual analysis and help establish productive dialogue between scientific and philosophical traditions.

Through this broad yet focused scope, we aim to support scholarship that is scientifically informed, conceptually rigorous, and open to diverse perspectives. We believe that the inclusion of the journal in APA PsycInfo will further encourage the exchange of ideas across these interconnected fields.

The Journal of NeuroPhilosophy is a fully open-access journal. We believe that access to scholarly knowledge should be as broad as possible and that research findings and academic discussions should be available to the international research community without subscription barriers.

Our open-access publishing model reflects our commitment to the dissemination of knowledge, international academic collaboration, and the accessibility of interdisciplinary research. By making our publications freely available, we seek to support researchers and readers across institutions, countries, and professional backgrounds.

The journal’s acceptance for APA PsycInfo indexing complements this commitment by creating an additional pathway through which scholars can discover the journal and identify research relevant to their academic interests.

We see open access and international discoverability as complementary elements of responsible scholarly communication. Together, they help strengthen the connections between researchers, encourage the circulation of ideas, and support the development of knowledge across disciplinary and geographical boundaries.

This achievement represents an important step in the continuing development of the Journal of NeuroPhilosophy. We recognize, however, that inclusion in an established scholarly database is not an endpoint. It is an opportunity to build on our existing work, strengthen our editorial practices, broaden our international reach, and continue supporting high-quality research.

We remain committed to publishing original and intellectually ambitious contributions that advance understanding of the brain, mind, consciousness, cognition, and the philosophical questions emerging from developments in neuroscience and related disciplines.

We also look forward to engaging with a wider community of authors, reviewers, researchers, and readers who share an interest in rigorous interdisciplinary inquiry. We welcome submissions that offer novel empirical findings, theoretically informed analyses, philosophical arguments, and integrative perspectives capable of enriching dialogue across the sciences and humanities.

The acceptance of the Journal of NeuroPhilosophy for APA PsycInfo indexing encourages us to pursue these objectives with renewed enthusiasm and a continued commitment to academic quality, intellectual openness, and responsible publishing.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the APA PsycInfo Journal Evaluation Committee and the APA Publishing team for their evaluation of our journal and for this positive decision. We are grateful for the opportunity to have the Journal of NeuroPhilosophy included in this important scholarly resource.

We also extend our thanks to our authors, reviewers, editorial colleagues, and readers. Their contributions, expertise, and continued engagement are essential to the development of the journal and to the broader interdisciplinary community it seeks to serve.

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on our central mission: to foster meaningful dialogue between neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and consciousness studies, and to provide an international platform for research that advances our understanding of the mind and brain.

We are proud to announce this achievement and look forward to the next chapter in the development of the Journal of NeuroPhilosophy.
