Animal Cognition (AC)
Journal Descriptions
Animal Cognition is an international peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the scientific study of cognitive processes in animals and their evolutionary foundations. The journal provides a platform for researchers working in animal behavior, ethology, behavioral ecology, comparative psychology, cognitive science, and evolutionary biology. Since its establishment in 1998, the journal has become one of the leading publications in the field of comparative cognition. The journal publishes original research articles, theoretical papers, review articles, methods papers, short communications, and correspondence that explore how animals perceive, learn, remember, communicate, solve problems, and interact with their environments. Research spans a broad range of species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates, helping scientists understand the evolution and adaptive significance of cognitive abilities. Key topics include animal learning, memory systems, numerical competence, social cognition, communication, tool use, decision-making, spatial navigation, causal reasoning, and the biological mechanisms underlying cognition. The journal also encourages studies that compare cognitive processes across species and examine links between animal and human cognition. Published by Springer Nature, Animal Cognition is indexed in major databases including MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. The journal is recognized internationally for advancing knowledge of animal intelligence and cognitive evolution.
