Aims and Scope

The International Journal of Cognitive Research in Science, Engineering and Education (IJCRSEE) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original empirical and theoretical contributions at the intersection of cognitive science, education, psychology, and cultural studies. The journal aims to advance understanding of cognitive processes, learning and teaching, as well as cultural and social dimensions of education and knowledge.

IJCRSEE welcomes interdisciplinary research that explores how cognition, language, culture, media, and technology shape educational practices, learning environments, and identity formation in contemporary societies. By bringing together perspectives from cognitive psychology, pedagogy, linguistics, cultural studies, and related fields, the journal seeks to foster theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous scholarship with clear implications for educational practice and policy.

The journal publishes:

  • Original research articles

  • Review articles

  • Theoretical and methodological studies

  • Case studies and monographic studies

  • Book reviews

All submissions must be original, written in English, and are subject to a double-blind peer-review process.
