"Brains, Minds & Media"
eJournal of New Media in Neural and Cognitive Science Education
==================================================
It is the main aim of this novel open-access eJournal to provide peer-reviewed articles and interactive/visual media for education in the neural and cognitive sciences ranging from the advanced school level to all areas of higher education. We seek to ...
.. assure citability, content quality and accessibility of your materials through peer-reviewed publication
.. adequately represent knowledge beyond papers and textbooks with visualizations and interactive media
.. promote an intelligible and serious understanding of neural and cognitive concepts
We encourage combined submission of a mandatory short paper and (optional) elaborated, high-quality media (visualizations, simulations, tutorials and the like), which may be browser-ready, but can also be proprietary. Papers on the use and effect of new media in the neural and cognitive sciences and reviews are also welcome.
The E-Journal will be open-access, internationally peer-reviewed and initially free of page charge thanks to funding program "Digital Peer Publishing" of the state government NRW, Germany. Sustainable and maintained infrastructure (hard- and software) and permanent administrative manpower is provided through library services (see 'Partners'). The in-house work is fostered by several researchers at Bielefeld University with experience international editorial boards from the fields of Neurobiology, Biological Cybernetics, Biorobotics and Neuroinformatics. We are now to build the international group of supporters and co-workers and prepare an initial issue. We call for your participation!
*****CALL*****
Please express your interest with an informal eMail (see ‘contact’) if you can contribute as ...
* AUTHOR if you have visualizations, simulations and the like, which are well-tried in your scientific talks or lessons and can submit a short paper on background and application. (No processing charge for early submissions, guidelines available)
* EDITOR / REVIEWER if you have a clear view on a specific section of the neural and/or cognitive sciences, a dedication for visualizations and simulation and can help to process submissions in reviewing. (Professional workflow software for the editorial is already set up.)
* ADVISOR / ADVOCAT if you are experienced member in the scientific community and wish to escort the initiative in strategic development as member of the advisory board or as external consultant.
* RECIPIENT if you simply want to be kept informed about the initiative (e.g. Newsletter).
CONTACT: The procedure is intentionally informal in the initial phase. Please feel free to send a noncommittal and private eMail to the organizational team with the area(s) of interest indicated. For arranging possible next steps, we will come to you with further information.
