01/22/2026

The new journal Digital Life, Cognitive Health, and Behavioral Futures warmly invites applications for its Editorial Board. DLCHBF is committed to deciphering a central question of our digitally saturated era: how pervasive digital technologies profoundly and systematically alter how we think, act, and evolve as a society. We move beyond studying single platforms in isolation, championing multi-level, complex-systems analyses that treat "digital life" as an integrated exposure.

We seek scholars with the following qualities to join our editorial leadership:

  • Research Interests:​ Effects of smartphones, social media, gaming on cognition across the lifespan; digital addiction & compulsive behaviors; algorithmic curation, echo chambers & online identity formation; neurocognitive mechanisms of screen exposure & multitasking; digital wellbeing interventions & preventive strategies; methodological tools for measuring online behavior & academic/productivity outcomes; public health & regulatory responses to digital environments; ethical & philosophical implications of digital life.

  • Roles & Responsibilities:​ Help solidify the journal's unique integrative research paradigm, attract high-quality interdisciplinary submissions, ensure scholarly depth and methodological rigor in reviews, and shape issues focusing on significant real-world problems.

  • Value of Joining:​ Become a leader in a vital scholarly conversation, find a natural multi-disciplinary home for your research, and collectively generate insights that can impact individual wellbeing and public policy.

We welcome you to join us as a Founding Editorial Board Member and help chart the new map of human development in the digital age.
