Ongoing Special Issues
Journal of Memory (JM) hosts ongoing special issues that spotlight emerging questions in memory science. Articles are reviewed and published on a rolling basis.
Current Themes In Development
Special issues evolve with the field. Themes may include memory and aging, neurodegeneration, memory and education, cognitive rehabilitation, and advances in measurement or modeling.
Memory And Aging
Mechanisms of decline, resilience, and interventions across the lifespan.
Neural Mechanisms
Imaging, biomarkers, and circuit level insights into encoding and retrieval.
Clinical Translation
Assessment tools and interventions for memory disorders.
Educational Memory
Learning, retention, and training strategies across contexts.
Computational Models
Modeling and prediction of memory outcomes and mechanisms.
Method Innovation
New tasks, measures, and analytic approaches.
Themes may rotate as new evidence emerges. The editorial office can confirm whether a topic is currently open for submissions.
How To Submit
Authors can submit to ongoing themes at any time while calls are open. Include the special issue title in your cover letter so the editorial team can route your manuscript correctly.
- Align your topic with the special issue focus.
- Follow JM author instructions and formatting rules.
- Provide ethics approvals and data availability statements.
- Suggest reviewers with relevant expertise.
If you are unsure about fit, send a short abstract to the editorial office before submission.
Submissions are welcomed from global researchers, clinicians, and educators working on memory related topics.
How Themes Are Chosen
Themes are selected based on scientific urgency, interdisciplinary potential, and interest from the memory research community. JM prioritizes topics with clear applications in clinical care, education, or translational neuroscience.
- Emerging evidence that needs synthesis.
- Rapid advances in methods or tools.
- Policy or practice implications.
Before You Submit
- Confirm the special issue theme in your cover letter.
- Include an abstract that clearly matches the theme.
- Prepare figures and tables with clear captions.
- Include a data availability statement.
Suggest A Special Issue Topic
If you have a proposal for a new theme, send a brief outline to the editorial office. Include the topic focus, why it is timely, and a list of potential contributors or guest editors.
Review Standards
Special issue submissions receive the same editorial scrutiny as regular JM articles. Acceptance depends on scientific rigor, clarity, and relevance to memory research.
Guest editors coordinate with the JM editorial office to ensure consistent decisions and adherence to publication ethics.
Rolling Publication
Special issue articles publish as soon as they are accepted. This approach ensures fast visibility while maintaining rigorous peer review and editorial oversight.
Why Contribute
- Greater visibility within a focused thematic collection.
- Opportunity to shape debate in a fast moving area.
- Increased engagement from readers tracking the theme.
Special issues can highlight emerging evidence and accelerate cross disciplinary collaboration in memory research.
