Journal of Cognitive Human-Computer Interaction

Journal of Cognitive Human-Computer Interaction (JCHCI) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research on the cognitive, behavioral, and design dimensions of human-computer interaction. The journal publishes original research articles, review papers, and applied studies that examine how interactive systems can be designed, evaluated, and optimized to support human perception, cognition, decision-making, accessibility, and user experience.

JCHCI focuses on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of human-computer interaction, cognitive science, usability engineering, and intelligent interactive technologies. The journal particularly welcomes contributions that investigate adaptive and multimodal interfaces, user behavior and interaction analytics, cognitive modeling, accessibility and inclusive design, human-centered artificial intelligence, and the evaluation of interactive systems in real-world digital environments. Emphasis is placed on studies with strong methodological rigor, empirical validation, and a clear contribution to the design, assessment, or improvement of human-centered digital systems.

The journal encourages submissions that address both theoretical and applied aspects of cognitive interaction, especially where human factors, interface performance, and interactive experience are central to the research contribution. Manuscripts whose primary contribution lies outside human-computer interaction or lacks a clear interaction-centered dimension are not considered within the core scope of the journal.
