Cognition, Technology & Work studies the relationship between people, technology and working environments. Its remit connects cognitive systems engineering with the organizational conditions of real work. A paper should explain what its evidence reveals about work with technology, rather than treating a technical application alone as sufficient fit. PublicationHelp can discuss journal selection and the agreed publication process with you.

How to assess your paper’s fit
Describe the work setting, the people using the technology and the decision or task you investigated. Then explain how your findings improve understanding of the relationship among those elements. For example, a study of a hospital interface could connect observations of staff work to the way information is presented. These are our prompts for a suitability enquiry, not additional journal requirements. Include your methods and main result so our team can discuss a submission destination with you.
Before submission
- Consult the current journal guidelines and submit editable manuscript source files; the publisher accepts Word or LaTeX sources.
- Provide a 150–250 word abstract and the required title-page information.
- Include the applicable statements on competing interests, funding and research ethics, and follow the publisher’s research-data policy.
- Choose the publication route with your funder’s access requirements in mind. An open-access APC and a subscription route have different cost conditions.
The publisher offers an optional open-access APC after acceptance; its subscription publishing route has no APC. Confirm the chosen route and what our package covers before proceeding. Payment to PublicationHelp follows journal acceptance under the agreed service terms.
The displayed amount is PublicationHelp’s combined package quote, including applicable journal fees and our services. Confirm the agreed scope before proceeding. It is not the publisher’s standalone article processing charge.
