Psychonomic Society: Editor Search for Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications (CR:PI)
Editor Search
Nominations due March 15, 2021
Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications (CR:PI) is an Open Access journal that publishes new empirical and theoretical work covering all areas of Cognition, with a special emphasis on use-inspired basic research: fundamental and theoretically relevant research that grows from hypotheses about real-world problems. For any submission, we expect that authors will be able to explain in a Significance section how their basic research serves to advance our understanding of the cognitive aspects of a problem with real-world applications. The role of the Editor is to select Associate Editors and an Editorial Board, handle manuscripts, assign manuscripts to Associate Editors, and interface with editorial staff and the Psychonomic Society Governing Board.
Over the past six years, the Psychonomic Society has undertaken a broad range of initiatives. Consequently, exciting opportunities exist for bold and creative innovations that will build on (but not be limited by) the solid foundation established by the inaugural editor to take CR:PI to the next level.

Appointment/Term/Transition
The term of the editorship is four years. The new incoming Editor will begin receiving new submissions January 1, 2022. The outgoing Editor’s team will continue to receive and act on revisions in 2022 for several months, and their names will continue to appear on the masthead. Toward the end of the incoming Editor's third year of service, the Publications Committee may invite the Editor to extend the term by an additional one to two years.
