Open Mind

Aims & Scope

Open Mind provides a forum for two types of submissions: original Research Reports on all aspects of cognitive science, emphasizing new discoveries that advance the field or definitive contributions that settle an on-going controversy, or Perspectives that are a mix of short review and opinion piece on a critical issue in the field that highlights a new conceptual or methodological approach.

Open Mind is a diamond OA publication; there is no Article Processing Charge (APC).

We encourage the inclusion of Supplementary Materials as a complement to Research Reports.

These Supplementary Materials will be linked to the main manuscript and should be smaller than 500KB in size.

For larger data sets (e.g. video files), they can be freely archived in the Open Mind repository within The Dataverse Project system once a manuscript has been accepted for publication.
