CALL FOR CO-EDITOR, Judgment and Decision Making

We announce a call for co-editorship of Judgment and Decision Making (JDM). Jon Baron is the founding and incumbent editor, who will default to Associate Editor. The remaining co-editors are Mandeep K Dhami and Andreas Glöckner.

Judgment and Decision Making is the official journal of both the European Association for Decision Making (EADM) and the Society for Judgment and Decision Making (SJDM). It is published by Cambridge University Press. The journal publishes peer-reviewed scholarly papers. All papers are open-access.

The journal seeks to publish articles that are of high-quality and interest to scholars working in the field of judgment and decision-making (JDM). The study of JDM concerns the normative, descriptive, and prescriptive analysis of human judgments and decisions. These topics may be studied from theoretical or applied perspectives, with the use of experiments, surveys, analysis of existing data, and other necessary approaches. The journal covers relevant content from several fields, including cognitive psychology, experimental economics, and experimental philosophy. The journal publishes mainly experimental work that contributes to our understanding of JDM behavior and theory development. Articles that suggest new or improved theories, cover methodological contributions, and include non-experimental work may also be published.

JDM is a key journal for the field. The role of editor includes maintaining the standards of scholarship. There is no renumeration for this position and we encourage colleagues to volunteer for the important and necessary function of this editorial work. The workload varies over the course of a year, and the work requires flexibility. However, candidates ought to reserve about half a day per week (4 hours) for screening of submissions for desk rejection, which may involve providing reasons, or for assignment to action editors, who may seek further information. More time is required if the editor chooses to action edit a manuscript themselves.

We anticipate that candidates will have demonstrated scientific and scholarly excellence in one or more areas of JDM as well as a breadth of knowledge in other areas such as Psychology and/or Economics. Other relevant qualifications may include prior experience as an associate editor or editor of another journal, a broad intellectual perspective, a commitment to scientific integrity and open science, knowledge of advanced quantitative analytic techniques, exceptional communication skills, and strong management skills, as well as an ability to work collaboratively with others.

Please submit a CV to journal@sjdm.org which can speak to the sorts of criteria mentioned above. The search committee will include Jon Baron, Mandeep Dhami, and Andreas Glöckner (co-Editors), and two members of the advisory board (representing EADM and SJDM). Both nominations and self-nominations are welcomed. Please ensure that nominated candidates are willing to take on the position.

The deadline for receiving (self-)nominations is 15 January 2026, when the review process will begin. Shortlisted candidates may be expected to attend a (virtual) interview with the search committee. Candidates should be prepared to begin receiving manuscript submissions from June 1 2026.
