The Society for Judgment and Decision Making () now has a journal called Judgment and Decision Making ().
It is open-access, which means the potential readership is everyone who reads English and has an internet connection. Articles will be searchable by Google and other search engines. At least for now, we have no publication fees.
We are seeking submissions of interesting articles. We are aiming for July for the first issue. We expect to be indexed in PsycInfo and Social Science Citation Index at least, but we have just set this process in motion (by requesting an ISSN).
All relevant articles will be considered, but we encourage short articles, attempted replications of surprising results, and adversarial collaborations, as well as new empirical contributions and theoretical articles. We encourage the submission of raw data at the time of review, and we can archive the data of accepted articles.
Relevant articles deal with normative, descriptive, and/or prescriptive analyses of human judgments and decisions. These include, but are not limited to: experimental studies of judgments of hypothetical scenarios; experimental economic approaches to individual and group behavior; use of physiological methods to understand human judgments and decisions; discussion of normative models such as utility theory; and applications of relevant theory to medicine, law, consumer behavior, business, public choice, and public economics.
Submitted articles will be examined by the Editor and possibly by one Associate Editor before they are sent for review. Usually the review will involve one Consulting Editor and another reviewer. This process is designed to insure speedy rejection when rejection seems warranted. The review process itself should take at most a few weeks, depending on the length of the article. Authors may remove their names if they wish, and reviewers may reveal theirs.
Articles accepted for publication should follow the citation conventions of the American Psychological Association. Simple formatting in LaTeX or with a word processor is desirable. The more complex, the more difficult for us. Figures should be in encapsulated PostScript (eps) if possible. But this is for accepted articles only. Submitted articles have no restrictions so long as reviewers can read them.
