Inaugural Issue of CRJ as the Journal of the Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity: Introduction to the Special Issue
It is with considerable excitement that I mark the publication of this inaugural special issue, signifying a new era at Creativity Research Journal: CRJ is now the official journal of The Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity (SfNC). In joining forces, CRJ gains new reach among the SfNC’s global network of scholars, educators, artists, and innovators, and SfNC gains a new platform – built on CRJ’s rich tradition – for disseminating rigorous and thought-leading creativity scholarship. I am also pleased to note the adoption of CRJ’s new cover design, which can be found on the cover of this issue, and which is based on the winning entry to SfNC’s design concept competition (the winner was selected by the votes of SfNC membership).

While affiliation with SfNC is an important development for the future of CRJ, this transition does not represent a fundamental change in CRJ’s longstanding mission and scope. CRJ will remain committed to publishing top-notch work that reflects the broad and diverse areas of scholarship that constitute the field of creativity research.

期刊介绍:
Creativity Research Journal publishes high-quality, scholarly research capturing the full range of approaches to the study of creativity--behavioral, clinical, cognitive, crosscultural, developmental, educational, genetic, organizational, psychoanalytic, psychometrics, and social. Interdisciplinary research is also published, as is research within specific domains (e.g., art, science) and research on critical issues (e.g., aesthetics, genius, imagery, imagination, incubation, insight, intuition, metaphor, play, problem finding and solving). Integrative literature reviews and theoretical pieces that appreciate empirical work are extremely welcome, but purely speculative articles are not published. Readers are encouraged to send commentaries, comments, and evaluative book reviews.
