摘要：
A recent article (Nunez et al., 2019) claims that cognitive science, while starting off as a multidisciplinary enterprise, has "failed to transition to a mature inter-disciplinary coherent field." Two indicators reported in support of this claim target one of the two journals of the Cognitive Science Society, Cognitive Science, depicting cognitive science as an increasingly monodisciplinary subfield which is dominated by psychology. With a focus on the society's other journal, Topics in Cognitive Science, the present commentary reveals a greater degree of interdisciplinarity and discusses the relative values of diversity and integration for the field.
