Editorial Team – Summer Term 2026

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 three teams, everyone wearing multiple hats:

★ The ‘Management’ team is focusing on coordinating with all the other teams and liaising with authors. Further they keep an eye on the big picture, the publishing schedule and are organizing upcoming events.

★ The ‘Marketing‘ team, that creates content to advertise the journal. Their focus lies on creative and innovative marketing strategies.

★ 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 Cognitive Science Student Journal works closely together with the Kaleidoscience Podcast which was founded by Sönke Lülf, Alina Ohnesorge and Elisa Palme. They are an independent group, but belong to the editorial board as well. The current Kaleidoscience Podcast team includes Elisa Palme, Imogen Hüsing, Sophie Kühne, Sönke Lülf, and Clara Kühne. Regularly, they interview students and researchers in the field of Cognitive Science, providing 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 Thelen 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.”
