Cognitive Computation - Cognitive Computation is transitioning to full open access!

5 August 2025

We are excited to announce that Cognitive Computation will become a fully open access (OA) journal in 2026. This means that as of January 2026, we will only be publishing open access articles, meaning content will be freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse.  

Springer Nature is committed to ensuring our portfolios serve and meet the evolving needs of the research community and that quality research is read and disseminated as widely as possible. Transforming Cognitive Computation to full OA reflects our ongoing commitment to driving the transition to open research, and providing researchers with OA publication venues that can amplify their research and enable compliance with funder and institutional OA requirements, while continuing to deliver a high level of author service.
