JOURNAL

of COGNITIVE SECURITY

The Journal of Cognitive Security is concerned with influence and protection from influence of large groups of media users and consumers both online and offline. Cognitive Security focuses on (1) the exploitation of cognitive biases in large public groups, (2) social influence as an end unto itself and (3) formality and quantitative measurement.

About

The Journal of Cognitive Security will address the impact of the increasing volume of information available to anyone, the speed with which information is replicated, spread, and processed, and the ubiquity of telecommunications.  The Journal will include submissions that address the impact of the information environment on human decision-making and on societal change.

The Journal is a publication of ArmisteadTEC LLC, Inc., which is overseen by Dr. Leigh Armistead who will also act as Executive Editor and publisher/CEO.

The Journal will be a forum for industry, academia, and government to explore the concepts of cognitive security described in the preceding paragraphs and their impact on societies, governments (including militaries) and businesses.

The Journal will be a peer-reviewed publication with at least two reviewers for every submission qualified to evaluate the statements of fact, assumptions and evidence supporting conclusions asserted in submitted papers.

The Journal will maintain an Editorial and Advisory Board composed of researchers, industry members and others with established credentials in the field of information – its use, dissemination, and impact on decision-making.

The Journal is proposed to be published quarterly but periodicity and frequency will be determined by the Editorial and Advisory Board based on the demand signal from our readership.
