Shaping Our Digital Future – A Call for Interdisciplinary Research

03/04/2026

Announcement: Invitation for Submissions

How is the pervasive digital environment reshaping who we are, how we think, and how we interact? Digital Life, Cognitive Health, and Behavioral Futures​ is launched to answer these profound questions through rigorous, interdisciplinary scholarship. We announce an open call for papers that examine digital technologies not as mere tools, but as a holistic exposure shaping cognitive, behavioral, and social futures.

Our Interdisciplinary Lens

This journal is the confluence point for psychology, neuroscience, sociology, public health, media studies, and policy research. We prioritize studies that treat the "digital lifeworld" as an interconnected whole. Relevant topics include:

  • The cognitive, developmental, and mental health effects of smartphones, social media, and immersive technologies across the lifespan.

  • Digital addiction, compulsive use patterns, and behavioral dysregulation.

  • Algorithmic curation, filter bubbles, and their role in identity formation and social polarization.

  • Neurocognitive mechanisms underlying screen exposure, attention, and multitasking.

  • Design and evaluation of digital well-being interventions, preventive strategies, and longitudinal impact studies.

  • Digital practices in education, work, and their methodological measurement.

  • Public health policy, regulatory frameworks, and cross-cultural analyses of digital environments.

  • Ethical and philosophical implications of evolving human behavior in post-digital eras.

Why Publish With Us?

We fill a critical gap by integrating scattered research into a cohesive conversation. Our journal is dedicated to complexity, empirical evidence, and actionable insights. It is the essential forum for researchers whose work traverses traditional disciplinary boundaries to understand and intervene in our digital existence.
