Editorial Team – Winter Term 2024/25

There are a lot of tasks involved in publishing a student journal which are addressed by different students each semester. As the student journal progresses, the team structure evolves with it. This semester, our editorial board is divided into four teams:

★ Our ‘Publisher’, who keeps an eye on the big picture, the publishing schedule and upcoming events. 

★ The ‘Reviewing and Editing‘ team, responsible for processing all submitted scientific papers, posters or educational videos.

1. ★ The ‘Marketing‘ team, that creates content to advertise the journal. Their focus lies on creative and innovative marketing strategies, for instance using social media or mouth-to-mouth advertisement. 

★ The ‘Website‘ team is focusing on improving the website as well as creating and incorporating new content. Their goal is to make the appearance as attractive, accessible and functional as possible.

★ The ‘Management’ team is focusing on coordinating with all the other teams and liaising with authors.

All teams are supported by our lecturers Sabrina and Tracy, who is in charge of organizational matters and helps with publishing overall. Additionally, specifically the ‘Website’ team is assisted by Eva Kuth, who was also a part of website team in the previous semester.  

The Cognitive Science Student Journal works closely together with the Kaleidoscience Podcast which was founded by Sönke, Alina and Elisa. They are an independent group, but belong to the editorial board as well. Regularly, they interview students and researchers in the field of Cognitive Science, proividing insightful opinions on current topics.

The Cognitive Science Student Journal is part of a larger project highlighting student work at the Institute of Cognitive Science that was initiated by Tobias and Laura. Tobias shares valuable insights on copyright and trademark, and pulls the organizational strings behind the scenes. Laura envisioned the journal initially and now assists in the reviewing process and with design decisions: “During my Cognitive Science studies I was missing a place to share my and others’ works – seeing the journal come to life is wonderful and I am eager to see what more is to come.”
