Cognition and Emotion is a
The idea for Cognition and Emotion was conceived by Fraser Watts and Mark Williams (Oatley, Parrott, Smith, & Watts, 2011). Watts and Williams were trying to understand the role of cognition in emotional disorders, and how these could be treated by cognitive therapy. They noted that the interplay between cognition and emotion was also studied in other fields but there was little communication between these fields. Cognition and Emotion was therefore founded by Watts, who edited the journal between 1987 and 1995. The first article to appear in Cognition and Emotion was a theoretical article by Howard Leventhal and Klaus Scherer (Leventhal & Scherer, 1987).
Subsequent editors-in-chief were Gerrod W. Parrott (1995–1999), Craig Smith (2000–2007, Jan De Houwer and Dirk Hermans (2008–2012), and Agneta Fischer and Carien van Reekum (2013–2017). As of 2017, the
Cognition and Emotion is currently published eight times per year by Routledge. The journal publishes empirical articles, review articles, and theoretical articles. As of 2020, Cognition and Emotion features a new section that is exclusively focused on theory development (Rothermund & Koole, 2020). The Theory section is edited by Klaus Scherer. The majority of contributions to the journal are submitted by individual researchers or research teams. Most years, however, the journal also publishes Special Issues, which consist of a collection of articles that are centred around a specific theme. Some of the most recent Special Issues focused on emotional collectives (Van Kleef & Fischer, 2016), anxiety and depression (Eysenck & Fajkowska, 2018), horizons of cognition and emotion research (Koole & Rothermund, 2019), automatic processes in evaluative learning (Hütter & Rothermund, 2020), and alexithymia (Luminet, Nielson, & Ridout, 2021).
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 2.679.[1] Within Cognitive and Experimental Psychology, it is a Q2 journal according to Scimago.
