SCAN将考虑使用神经成像(fMRI、MRI、PET、EEG、MEG)、神经心理学患者研究、动物损伤研究、单细胞记录、药物干扰和经颅磁刺激的研究。扫描也将考虑提交，检查神经过程的中介作用，在连接社会现象与生理，神经内分泌，免疫，发育和遗传过程。此外，SCAN还将发表论文，讨论与社会和情感过程相关的心理和身体健康问题(例如，自闭症、焦虑症、抑郁症、压力、抚养孩子的影响)，只要使用认知神经科学方法。最后，尽管SCAN的目标是发表最尖端的研究成果，但它的目标也是让那些本身不使用神经科学技术的社会科学家也能接触到。为此目的，应该用语言来描述研究，使其对社会科学的影响更加明确。此外，在每期的一些文章之前会有简短的评论，以便从概念上将研究与相关的更广泛的社会科学问题联系起来。

SCAN will consider research that uses neuroimaging (fMRI, MRI, PET, EEG, MEG), neuropsychological patient studies, animal lesion studies, single-cell recording, pharmacological perturbation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. SCAN will also consider submissions that examine the mediational role of neural processes in linking social phenomena to physiological, neuroendocrine, immunological, developmental, and genetic processes. Additionally, SCAN will publish papers that address issues of mental and physical health as they relate to social and affective processes (e.g., autism, anxiety disorders, depression, stress, effects of child rearing) as long as cognitive neuroscience methods are used.Finally, although SCAN aims to publish the best cutting edge research, its goal is also to be accessible to social scientists who do not themselves use neuroscience techniques. To this end, studies should be described in language that makes their implications for the social sciences clear. Additionally, short reviews will precede some articles in each issue to link the research conceptually to the broader social science issues to which they are relevant.
