Judgment and Decision Making

This is the journal of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making (SJDM) and the European Association for Decision Making (EADM). It is open access, published on the World Wide Web, at least every two months. We have no author fees so far.

Aims and scope

The study of judgment and decision making (JDM) concerns normative, descriptive and prescriptive analysis of human judgments and decisions. These topics may be studied from theoretical or applied perspectives, with the use of experiments, surveys, analysis of existing data, and other necessary approaches. Contributions to the journal will fall within these bounds and reflect issues central to JDM, including, but not limited to those in this list. The field of JDM is inter-disciplinary, so the journal covers relevant content from several fields, including cognitive psychology, experimental economics, and experimental philosophy. We expect contributions to be accessible to readers in at least these fields.

What we publish

Types of articles: We publish articles of any length, including new empirical contributions, adversarial collaborations, informative replies to relevant articles, meta-analyses, and theoretical articles.

Replications: We publish replications, so long as they have a compelling rationale, e.g., the original results were surprising.

Registered reports: We will review the Introduction and Method section of proposed studies (plus something like a power analysis, if relevant). If these are accepted, then we promise to publish the results. The idea is to encourage risky but important studies (including replications) by removing the fear that a negative or ambiguous result will not be publishable. See the note2 for further details.

Theory specification papers (pilot phase): We publish manuscripts in which important (e.g., well researched and cited) and still underspecified theories of (mainly) other authors are specified. Papers should objectify theories by fully specifying and operationally defining all concepts included in the antecedence and the consequence parts of a theory and their interrelations. Such papers should foster debates that converge on a common understanding. Please contact the responsible editor (Andreas Glöckner) with a short proposal prior to writing the paper.

What we do not publish

  • Literature reviews unless they feature a theoretical contribution or represent a special point of view;
  • Applications of a decision analytic method (such as multi-criteria decision making) to particular problems (such as those in commerce);
  • Demonstrations of social psychological phenomena or behavioural economic effects that are not put in the context of standard issues in JDM;
  • Articles consisting mainly of mathematical proofs;
  • Articles that are better suited to specialist journals in other fields and disciplines, particularly social psychology, marketing, behavioral finance, and neuroscience.

Although we have published special issues in the past, we are not currently accepting proposals for special issues.

Article processing

  1. Submitted articles should be original1 and should fall within the scope of the journal. When they are not appropriate, we try to reject them immediately, almost always less than 2 days.
  2. We currently do not charge for processing of submissions. We expect authors to help with the work of production (by following the technical guidelines).
  3. A new submission must include a pdf version of the paper with figures and page numbers, and a text version (tex, text, doc, or docx without line numbers), as well as this form (included in your email, not an attachment). Papers typically include complete author information. Reviewers prefer tables, figures, and footnotes in the text, not at the end. No cover letter is needed; the required form is what we need.
  4. For empirical work, we strongly encourage the submission of raw data (with a key to the meaning of variable names, if needed) and stimulus materials at the time of the initial submission and will often request these if they are not already available.
  5. Publications should, insofar as possible, include all key information necessary to understand (and replicate) the study and data analysis. Feel free to use footnotes, appendices, or supplements. We include the data of accepted articles (or links to the data) with the articles, as well as stimuli, questionnaires, and code, when these are necessary to understand exactly what was done (insofar as this is consistent with other constraints such as questionnaires with copyright restrictions, or proprietary ownership of data).
  6. We strongly encourage authors to check our statistical guidelines, when relevant. Submissions that violate these guidelines may be sent back for revision before review.
  7. Articles that are accepted for publication must meet these technical requirements. If you plan to submit an article not yet written, it may help to look at the technical requirements before you write it, but it is not necessary. Experienced LaTeX can use our latex template (along with hevea.sty and apalike3.bst). LaTeX novices who are curious should look at our Overleaf template. Word users can use our Word template.
  8. For accepted articles, we also require some additional information that provides guidelines for those who want to replicate the main findings as part of a project on replication.
  9. All submissions will receive an initial desk review by an Editor, and possibly an Associate Editor. This provides a speedy rejection when a rejection is warranted. Submissions that are deemed to fall within the scope of the journal and which demonstrate a high and rigorous standard will be sent out for peer-review.
  10. Usually the review will involve one Consulting Editor and another reviewer. Informative reviews from earlier submissions of the same article (with authors' responses to them) may reduce the number of required reviewers, thus speeding the review process and reducing the total burden on potential reviewers.
  11. For those articles that are sent out for peer review, we endeavour to provide authors with timely feedback (with a typical turnaround time of around 2 months). However, we are reliant on the promptness of our expert reviewers, who provide a valuable service, free-of-charge, to the journal and the field. We regard reviews as information, not votes. Where we can, we will support authors in revising their work before publication.
  12. The author holds the copyright of all published articles under the terms of the cc-by license

Send submissions (pdf and some non-pdf format) to journal@sjdm.org with either “new submission” or “revised submission” in the subject line. For new submissions, please include the required form in your email You may cc jonathanbaron7@gmail.com. Comments and questions can go to either address. We will acknowledge receipt of submissions automatically. If you do not receive this acknowledgment, check your spam and then write to jonthanbaron7@gmail.com.

1An article cannot be previously published in a refereed journal. It can, however, be published in a conference proceedings, a personal web site, a working-paper series, or a pre-print server.

2A registered report is not the same as pre-registration, although that may be useful for many papers, including registered reports. See As Predicted. When submitting a registered report, please also include a separate explanation of why you are doing the study and why you want acceptance in advance. Following initial (pre-study) acceptance, authors are typically required by the action editor to register the approved protocol (e.g., on the Open Science Framework https://osf.io/rr/ or other recognised repository), either publicly or under private embargo until submission of the full manuscript with results. The full manuscript will then also contain the URL of the approved protocol.
