Digital Life, Cognitive Health, and Behavioral Futures: Announcements
Digital Life, Cognitive Health, and Behavioral Futures will focus on how pervasive digital technologies reshape cognition, behaviour and social futures. It is designed to attract interdisciplinary work from psychology, neuroscience, public health, sociology, media studies and policy, with an emphasis on empirical evidence and intervention design. Its advantage lies in treating “digital life” as an integrated exposure, rather than isolating single platforms, thus providing a home for complex, multi-level analyses that are often scattered across disparate journals.
Shaping Our Digital Future – A Call for Interdisciplinary Research
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. Join us in mapping the terrain of digital life and forging pathways toward healthier cognitive and behavioral futures. Submit your manuscript today.

Call for Editorial Board Members: Map the Mind and Behavior in the Digital Age
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.
Now Launching: Digital Life, Cognitive Health, and Behavioral Futures— Understanding Our Technologically-Saturated Selves
The Central Question We Explore We don't just use smartphones, social media, or games in isolation—we inhabit a complex ecosystem of "digital life" they collectively create. How does this holistic immersion alter how we think, feel, connect, and develop? Moving beyond studies of single platforms, this journal champions a more integrated lens: treating "digital life" itself as the primary exposure, fostering complex analyses that unravel its multi-level, systemic impacts. A Home for Interdisciplinary Inquiry This journal is a nexus for psychologists, neuroscientists, public health experts, sociologists, media scholars, educators, and policymakers. If your work investigates: Cognition & The Brain: Effects of screen exposure, multitasking, gaming on attention, memory, emotion, and neurodevelopment. Behavior & Society: Digital addiction, online identity formation, algorithmic "echo chambers," and evolving social dynamics. Intervention & Futures: Digital wellbeing tools, preventive strategies, public policy, ethics, and the trajectory of human behavior. ...then you have found your scholarly home. We emphasize evidence-based inquiry and rigorous intervention design.
