Instructions to Authors
Brain and Cognition publishes original research articles, case histories, theoretical articles, critical reviews, historical articles, and scholarly notes; each contribution will be relevant to any aspect of human neuropsychology or cognitive neuroscience other than those specific to purely linguistic issues. Appropriate topics include but are not limited to memory, cognition, emotion, perception, movement, or praxis in relationship to brain structure or function. Each will have theoretical import, either formulating new hypotheses or supporting or refuting new or previously established hypotheses. The interdisciplinary focus of Brain and Cognition includes but is not limited to the fields of psychology, neurology, psychiatry, speech pathology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, philosophy, and computer science. Manuscripts of several different types are solicited: research articles, theoretical integrations, single or multiple case history studies, critical reviews of books of interest to the journal's readership, and short (limited to 10 typed manuscript pages, maximum 3000 words) scholarly notes and discussion. Short research reports that are especially timely and groundbreaking are eligible for rapid review and publication (and should indicated as such).
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be written in English and should be in APA format. All manuscripts should be submitted to http://ees.elsevier.com/brcg. Authors are requested to submit the text, tables, and artwork in electronic form to this address. Each manuscript should be accompanied by a letter outlining the basic findings of the paper and their significance. Authors should also state that the manuscript, or parts of it, have not been and will not be submitted elsewhere for publication.
Please note that an editable file is needed for production purposes after acceptance. We ask that you submit source files in the case that your manuscript is accepted. Authors are requested to include a cover letter, manuscript, tables, and figures as well as any ancillary materials. If you are not able to submit an electronic version, please contact the BRCG Editorial Office at:
Brain and Cognition Editorial Office 525 B Street, Suite 1900 San Diego, CA 92101-4495, USA Telephone: (619) 699-6316 Fax: (619) 699-6700 E-mail: b-c@elsevier.com
There are no submission fees or pages charges.
Language data may be given in English when clearly identifiable; otherwise, they should be transcribed into the phonetic alphabet of the International Phonetic Association (IPA).
The preferred format for papers submitted electronically is MS Word or WordPerfect, but .pdf or .dvi files are acceptable. Submission of the final version, once accepted for publication, must be in an editable format, such as a recent version of MS Word or WordPerfect, and the figures should be in some common graphics format such as .jpg, .tif, or equivalent. The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and authors must read the proofs carefully.
Only original papers will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been published, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the listed authors and by the institutions where the work was carried out. If human or animal subjects were involved in the research, authors must note in their letter of submittal that the research was conducted using appropriate ethical guidelines. Any person cited as a source of personal communication must have given her or his approval of such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion.
Articles and any other material published in Brain and Cognition represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect opinions of the Editor(s) and the Publisher. Manuscripts that do not meet the general criteria or standards for publication in Brain and Cognition will be immediately returned to the authors, without detailed review.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright, see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided after acceptance.
If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier's Rights Department, Oxford, UK: phone (+44) 1865 843830, fax (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail permissions@elsevier.com. Requests may also be completed on-line via the Elsevier home page (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/permissions).
Preparation of Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout. Pages should be numbered consecutively even if transmitted electronically and organized as follows:
The title page (p.1) should contain the article title, author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the complete mailing address of the author to whom all correspondence should be sent (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
The abstract (p.2) must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in approximately 100 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
The Introduction should be as concise as possible.
Materials and methods should be sufficiently detailed to enable the experiments to be reproduced.
Results and Discussion may be combined and may be organized into subheadings.
References should be cited in the text by surname of the author and the publication date in parentheses, e.g., Gall (1825) or (Gall & Spurzheim, 1810). If more than one article was published by the same author in a given year, the correct style is Bouillaud (1825a) or (Bouillaud, 1852a, 1825b). All references must be listed alphabetically at the end of the article, beginning on a separate sheet, and typed double-spaced. Journal titles should be written out in full, not abbreviated. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in text. The following examples show style of capitalization and punctuation for journal articles, books, and chapters in edited books. Please use the following style:
Bryden, M. P. (1982). Laterality: Functional asymmetry in the intact brain. New York: Academic Press.
Sergent, J. (1986). Prolegomena to the use of the tachistoscope in neuropsychological research. Brain and Cognition, 5, 127-130.
Whitaker, H. A. (1998). Neurolinguistics from the Middle Ages to the Pre-modern Era: Historical vignettes. In B. Stemmer & H. A. Whitaker(Eds.), Handbook of neurolinguistics (pp. 27-54). San Diego: Academic Press.
Tables
Tables should be numbered in order of appearance with Arabic numerals. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed above and with essential footnotes below. Keep in mind the dimensions of the journal when planning the number of columns in a table.
Figures
Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals.Please visit our Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.
Color Figures One free page of color is available to authors if the editors deem the color to be scientifically significant. However, if together with the accepted article, authors submit usable color figures, then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, authors will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. [Please note: Because of technical complications that can arise in converting color figures to "gray scale" (for the printed version should you not opt for color in print), please submit in addition usable black-and-white files corresponding to all the color illustrations.]
Preparation of Supplementary Material
Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer additional possibilities for publishing supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips, and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect (http://www.sciencedirect.com). To ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please provide the data in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. Please note, however, that supplementary material will not appear in the printed journal. Files can be stored on 3.5-inch diskette, ZIP disk, or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh). For more detailed instructions, please visit our Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com, click on "Artwork instructions," and then click on "Multimedia files."
Proofs
PDF proofs will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes should be made, and corrections should be returned promptly. Authors will be charged for alterations in excess of 10% of the cost of composition.
Reprints
Twenty-five (25) reprints will be provided free of charge. Additional reprints may be ordered.
