#Publications 
The Proceedings of the conference Cognit-2019 will be published in a separate edited volume with an ISBN and will be posted (open access) in October 2019 on the Web-site of the Multiconference IS 2019. 
The best papers presented at the conference will be recommended (in modified and expanded forms) for publishing in Informatica. An International journal of Computing and Informatics (www.informatica.si, open access, no publication fee) and in the international journals of the DLINE group (http://www.dline.info/new/, no publication fees), in particular, in the Journal of Digital Information Management (http://www.dirf.org/jdim). 

After the conference the applications to Scopus and Web of Science concerning the indexing of the Cognit-2019 Proceedings will be submitted.

# Conference Scope 
The first objective of cognitonics is to explicate the distortions in the perception of the world caused by the peculiarities of knowledge society and globalization. The second, principal objective of cognitonics is to cope with these distortions in different fields by means of elaborating systemic solutions for compensating the negative implications of the kind for the personality and society, in particular, for creating cognitive-cultural preconditions of the harmonic development of the personality in knowledge society and for ensuring the successful development of national cultures and national languages. 

Cognitonics formulates a new, large-scale goal for the software industry and Web science: to develop a new generation of culture-oriented computer programs and online courses intended for supporting and developing positively-oriented creativity, emotional intelligence, communication culture, social responsibility, the appreciation of the roots of the national cultures, the awareness of the integrity of the cultural space in the information and smart society and for supporting and developing symbolic information processing and linguistic skills, associative and reasoning abilities of children, adolescents, and university students. 

From the standpoint of educational practice, cognitonics proposes an answer to the following question: what precious ideas and images accumulated by the mankind, at what age, and in what a way are to be inscribed into the world's conceptual picture of a person in order to harmonize his/her intellectual and spiritually-coloured emotional development and to contribute to the successful development of national cultures and national languages?
