=================================================================
Important News: Increased Impact Factor & Six bi-monthly Journal Issues
since 2015
=================================================================

As you will know, Cognitive Computation was selected for coverage in
Thomson Reuter’s products and services in 2011. Beginning with V.1 (1)
2009, this publication is now indexed and abstracted in: ♦ Science Citation
Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch®) ♦ Journal Citation
Reports/Science Edition ♦ Current Contents®/Engineering Computing and
Technology ♦ Neuroscience Citation Index®
Cognitive Computation received its first Impact Factor (IF) in 2011

The IF for 2014/15 has increased to 1.44 (with a first five year IF
1.7) - Thomson
Reuters Journal Citation Reports® 2014

Many congratulations to the editors, reviewers and authors!

of Issues has increased from four (quarterly Issues) to six (bi-monthly
Issues) each year, since Feb 2015!
=================================

The April 2016 Issue comprises two invited papers, the first by Yew-Soon
Ong et al. (titled: Evolutionary Multitasking: A Computer Science View of
Cognitive Multitasking) and the second by Zidong Wang et al. (titled: A
Novel Switching Delayed PSO Algorithm for Estimating Unknown Parameters of
Lateral Flow Immunoassay). These are followed by 10 regular papers, and
finally a Special Issue titled: "Cognitively-Inspired Computing for
Gerontechnology" (comprising five manuscripts, with the Guest Editorial
available for free download here:
