Cognitive Therapy and Research (COTR) is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the investigation of all aspects of cognitive processes and cognitive behavioral therapies. The journal welcomes submissions from diverse areas of clinical science focusing on cognitions, behaviors, treatment mechanism and predictors, experimental psychopathology, biomarkers, affective neuroscience, and dissemination. In addition, the scope of the journal includes developmental and cultural aspects of psychopathology and treatment. More specifically, the journal encourages submissions on the following topics: Enhancing the clinical science of cognitive behavioral therapies. Clinical science is an ever-changing process. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a major part of it, leading to new and improved therapeutic strategies. Dissemination of effective treatments. Although therapies are effective in clinical settings, they often fail in real-world clinical practices. Effective dissemination is desperately needed. Understanding the treatment mechanisms. Cognitive behavioral therapies work for a wide range of different disorders, but the mechanisms of action (i.e., why do they work?) remain uncertain or unknown. The search for the generative mechanism may require new methodological strategies using a biopsychosocial perspective. Widening the perspective of cognitive and behavioral therapies. The journal encourages submissions of research at the cutting-edge of clinical science, such as topics on translational research, complex network analyses, machine learning, and treatment processes of new or promising pharmacotherapies, such as psychedelics.
