COGNITIVE SCIENCE QUARTERLY - CSQ An International Journal of Basic and Applied Research |
 |
|
CSQ is dedicated to publish original work from all fields of cognitive science, including applied research, in English language. The work submitted to CSQ must not have been published elsewhere, nor should it currently be under consideration for another journal, book, or conference publishing full papers. Note that distribution of a prepublication draft in electronic or paper form is not considered as prior publication, provided that the distributed work is clearly identified as a prepublication draft. Following publication in CSQ, authors may use, with proper citation, all or part of their article for their own classroom teaching, for internal distribution within their institution, and in a collection of their own work (e.g., on their homepage).
Each manuscript will be thoroughly reviewed for originality and for relevance to cognitive science, for soundness and significance, and presentation (the copy editor at the editor’s office will, however, help you with language problems if necessary). All manuscripts submitted to CSQ will be reviewed by at least two reviewers (and an additional short review as well, judging how relevant and understandable an article would be to cognitive science researchers from different subfields). The authors may suggest possible reviewers from the editorial board of CSQ, but the editor is free to decide who will review the manuscript. We will attempt to make as much use of electronic communication as possible in order to speed up the review process. If you would like to have your work reviewed anonymously, please state this wish clearly and unmistakably in your message accompanying the submitted manuscript. Reviewers will then receive your manuscript purged of authors’ names, affiliations and addresses.
The usual article published in CSQ will have a length of 20 to 30 printed pages (in the same format as used here), including figures, tables, references, and the like. This amounts to around 8,000 to 12,000 words per article. There may be exceptions, which should discussed with the editor before submission. CSQ will occasionally publish short articles (up to 3,000 words) as well, if the need arises (e.g., a significant comment, or rejoinder, or a book review). CSQ observes the spelling rules either of British English according to the Oxford English Dictionary or of American English according to Webster. CSQ favours submission in electronic formats (Word, Postscript, or PDF), and the final manuscript prepared with MS Word, using the Guidelines for Authors (CSQformat.DOC) and the style sheet (CSQ.DOT) available here: Download
Send your manuscript to the editor’s office either on disk or CD-ROM (PC compatible formats: MS Word 6 or later, Postscript, or PDF; the final manuscript must be in Word format; do not use any compression except ZIP), or you may send it as an e-mail attachment if it is less than 3 MB. The title of the article and the abstract must also be contained in the e-mail which accompanies the article (this e-mail is always necessary, even if the article is not sent as an attachment). Please do not forget to complete the Copyright Transfer Form from Hermes Science Publications (also available at the web address given above) and send it to the editor’s office either by mail, or by fax (when you send the final version of the article).
