Behavioral and Brain Sciences is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of Open Peer Commentary founded in 1978 by Stevan Harnad and published by Cambridge University Press. It is modeled on the journal Current Anthropology (which was founded in 1959 by the University of Chicago anthropologist, Sol Tax).[1][2]
The journal publishes "target articles" followed by 10 to 30 or more peer commentaries and the authors' response. The journal covers all area of the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences (psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy) and articles are judged by four or more referees to be of sufficient importance and interdisciplinary scope to merit Open Peer Commentary. Volume 1 appeared in 1978 and issues appeared quarterly; as its popularity grew it switched to a bimonthly schedule in 1997. The journal is included in the major indexes Current Contents, Sociological Abstracts, Brain Information Service, Psychological Abstracts, Animal Behaviour Abstracts, Neurosciences Abstracts, Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, Excerpta Medica, Current Awareness in Biological Sciences, Current Anthropology, Biological Abstracts, and EMBASE.[3] According to the 2010 edition of the Journal Citation Reports, its 2009 impact factor is 19.045.[4] This ranks the journal first and third in the two categories in which it is listed, Behavioral Sciences and Neurosciences, respectively.
