Spatial Cognition and Computation is a new, multidisciplinary journal
based on the assumption that the critical issues pertaining to spatial
cognition and computation lie at the intersection of a number of
disciplines, in particular, cognitive psychology, geography,
neuropsychology and artificial intelligence. Recent years have seen a
growth in the desire of these communities to share insights and
results. The aim of the journal is both to concentrate the presentation
of research into spatial cognition and computation, and to explicitly
encourage an interdisciplinary dialogue.
The journal encourages the submission of articles on any topic on
spatial cognition and spatial computation. Due to the range of academic
disciplines, problems to be addressed by the research should be of a
general interest and authors are encouraged to present their ideas in a
manner that is accessible to the entire journal readership. Research
articles, empirical studies, integrative reviews of the literature and
shorter opinion pieces will be considered for publication. Proposals
for single-topic issues will also be considered.
Specific topics within the scope of the journal include:
cognitive and computational models of spatial cognition;
navigation, environmental learning and cognitive mapping;
cognitive development and representation of large scale space;
neuropsychology and spatial cognition;
commonsense and qualitative models of space;
robot navigation and wayfinding;
models and applications of spatial and diagrammatic reasoning;
spatial cognition and visual languages;
cognitive theories of imagery and imaginal reasoning;
integration of vision and natural language processing;
representation and processing of spatial expressions;
cross-linguistic issues in spatial language;
sign language and spatial cognition;
gestural analysis and multimodal interfaces;
visualization and spatial cognition;
navigation and orientation in virtual environment and hypermedia.
The first issue is scheduled to appear in early 1999. Instructions on
submission and additional information can be found at:
http://www.wkap.nl/journalhome.htm/1387-5868

BBS 1998 Has Expanded by 50%
CALL FOR PAPERS
Behavioral and Sciences Journal (BBS), founded in '78, has begun its
third decade in '98 with a 50% Expansion. This means that more articles
can be accorded Open Peer Commentary, the feature that has had such a
great impact on the international cognitive and biobehavioral science
community. (BBS's ISI Impact Factor of 15 is nearly three times the
highest impact Psychology journal and is one of the 25 highest among
all 6500 science, social science and Arts/Humanities journals indexed
by ISI.)
BBS is a unique scientific communication medium, providing the service
of Open Peer Commentary for reports of significant current work in
psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology and cognitive science. If
a manuscript is judged by BBS referees and editors to be appropriate
for Commentary it is circulated to a large number of commentators
across disciplines and around the world. The target article,
commentaries, and authors' responses then co-appear in BBS.
To be eligible for publication, a paper should not only meet the
standards of a journal such as Psychological Review or the
International Review of Neurobiology in terms of conceptual rigor,
empirical grounding, and clarity of style, but should also offer a
clear rationale for soliciting Commentary.
A BBS target article can be (i) the report and discussion of empirical
research that the author judges to have broader scope and implications
than might be more appropriately reported in a specialty journal; (ii)
an unusually significant theoretical article that formally models or
systematizes a body of research; or (iii) a novel interpretation,
synthesis, or critique of existing experimental or theoretical work.
Occasionally, articles dealing with social or philosophical aspects of
the behavioral and brain sciences will be considered. Multiple reviews
of books also appear.

Professor Ed Haupt, a noted American historian of 19th century
German psychology will be a guest of our department between the 18th
20h of June .
He will have a talk entitled:
Reconstructing the History of Experimental Psychology: Central
Personnel and dogmas
Time: June 19, Friday, 10 AM.
Place: Izabella Utca 46, Room 301
Some keywords: I will talk about the Lotze-Brentano group as the
origin of experimental psychology, and add on what I'm doing at
History of Neuroscience, which is the importance of
materialism for early experimental psychology.
All are welcome, and of course feel free to reach me by email to
learn more about Ed's program.

To all cognitive scientists (apologies if you receive this more than
once):
You are invited to archive your preprints and reprints in the
CogPrints electronic archive.
The Archive covers all the Cognitive Sciences:
Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, Computer Science, Linguistics and Philosophy
CogPrints is completely free for everyone, both authors and readers,
thanks to a subsidy from the Electronic Libraries Programme of the
Joint Information Systems of the United Kingdom and the collaboration
of the NSF-supported Physics Eprint Archive at Los Alamos.
CogPrints has just been opened for public automatic archiving. This
means authors can now deposit their own papers automatically. The first
wave of papers had been invited and hand-archived by CogPrints in order
to set a model of the form and content of CogPrints.
To see the current holdings:

To archive your own papers automatically:

All authors are encouraged to archive their papers on their home
servers as well.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
(No need to read if you wish to proceed directly to the Archive.)
The objective of CogPrints is to emulate in the cognitive and
biobehavioral sciences the remarkable success of the NSF-subsidised
Physics Eprint Archive at Los Alamos
http://xxx.lanl.gov
The Physics Eprint Archive now makes available, free for all, over half
of the annual physics periodical literature, with its annual growth
strongly suggesting that it will not be long before it becomes the
locus classicus for all of the literature in Physics.
What this means is that anyone in the world with access to the Internet
(and that number too is rising at a breath-taking rate, and already
includes all academics, researchers and students in the West, and an
increasing proportion in the Third World as well) can now search and
retrieve virtually all current work in, for example, High Energy
Physics, much of it retroactive to 1990 when the Physics archive was
founded by Paul Ginsparg, who must certainly be credited by historians
with having launched this revolution in scientific and scholarly
publication (www-admin(a)xxx.lanl.gov).
Does this mean that learned journals will disappear? Not at all. They
will continue to play their traditional role of validating research
through peer review, but this function will be an "overlay" on the
electronic archives. The literature that is still in the form of
unrefereed preprints and technical reports will be classified as such,
to distinguish it from the refereed literature, which will be tagged
with the imprimatur of the journal that refereed and accepted it for
publication, as it always has been.
It will no longer be necessary for publishers to recover (and research
libraries to pay) the substantial costs of producing and distributing
paper through ever-higher library subscription prices: Instead, it will
be the beneficiaries of the global, unimpeded access to the learned
research literature -- the funders of the research and the employers of
the researcher -- who will cover the much reduced costs of implementing
peer review, editing, and archiving in the electronic medium alone, in
the form of minimal page-charges, in exchange for instant, permanent,
worldwide access to the research literature for all, for free.
If this arrangement strikes you as anomalous, consider that the real
anomaly was that the authors of the scientific and scholarly periodical
research literature, who, unlike trade authors, never got (or expected)
royalties for the sale of their texts -- on the contrary, so important
was it to them that their work should reach all potentially interested
fellow-researchers that they had long been willing to pay for the
printing and mailing of preprints and reprints to those who requested
them -- nevertheless had to consent to have access to their work
restricted to those who paid for it. This Faustian bargain was
unavoidable in the Gutenberg age, because of the need to recover the
high cost of producing and disseminating print on paper, but Paul
Ginsparg has shown the way to launch the entire learned periodical
literature into the PostGutenberg Galaxy, in which scientists and
scholars can publish their work in the form of "skywriting": visible
and available for free to all.
