Instructions to Authors
Articles for Trends in Cognitive Sciences (TICS) are usually commissioned by the Editor, but proposals for articles are welcome, especially for the Research Focus section. Prospective authors should send a brief summary (300 words), citing key references, to the Editor, who will supply guidelines on manuscript preparation if the proposal is accepted. The submission of completed articles without prior consultation with the Editor is strongly discouraged. Authors should note that all major articles in TICS are peer-reviewed and publication cannot be guaranteed.
Update: This section contains Research Focus articles, Letters and Book Reviews: Research Focus (Formerly Research News) articles discuss recent papers from the primary literature. These articles are shorter than Reviews or Opinions and the authors focus on the importance of the new papers, briefly setting them in context and explaining their significance for a wide audience. Letters usually discuss a recent article in TICS or, very occasionally, a matter of general interest. Letters should be no more than 400 words long with a maximum of 10 references. Where letters discuss a TICS article, the author of that article will normally be invited to reply, thereby providing a forum for debate within the journal. Book Reviews are small opinion pieces or mini-reviews of subject areas, in which the TICS author uses the book as a framework for discussing the field.
Opinion: Opinion articles present a personal viewpoint of a field or research-related subject. They can cover timely controversial topics or debates, provide a new interpretation of an old problem or current issue, or speculate in depth on the implications of some recently published research or data. Opinion articles aim to stimulate debate rather than provide a comprehensive review of a topic.
Review: Review articles are invited from leading researchers in a specific field. These articles offer a balanced account of newly emerging or rapidly progressing fields, and provide a guide to the most relevant recent literature and indication of future research. Together with Opinion articles, these form the core of each monthly issue.
