About this journal
Aims and scope
Time & Mind is a peer-reviewed, lively and highly interdisciplinary journal, presenting new perspectives on, and approaches to, landscape, monuments, people and culture. The journal features scholarly work addressing cognitive aspects of cross-related disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology, folklore, sociology and psychology that can shape our understanding of archaeological sites, landscapes and worldviews. Time & Mind explores such diverse topics as archaeoastronomy, ecopsychology, sensory engagements with landscapes and monuments, and symbolic, religious and ritual landscapes in the past and present. It also explores how images of the past are created in, and shape, contemporary society through engagement with place.
As well as original articles the journal also has a Notes section. These are shorter papers that raise interesting issues or angles, or provide a piece of specific research information. Papers submitted for the Notes section are subject to initial appraisal by the Co-Editors and a round of appraisal by the international editorial panel. When considered necessary, papers may also be sent to an independent referee for consideration.
Peer Review Statement:
All articles are subject to initial appraisal by the Co-Editors. If found suitable for further consideration, articles are then subject to peer review by at least one independent, anonymous expert referee.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
