About the journal
Description
Cognitive Processing -- International Quarterly of Cognitive Science is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes innovative contributions in the multidisciplinary field of cognitive science.
Its first aim is to present the latest results obtained in the manifold disciplines concerned with the different aspects of cognitive processing in natural and artificial systems: artificial intelligence, computer science and knowledge engineering, linguistics, mathematics, neuroscience, philosophy and cognitive anthropology, psychology, robotics.
Its main purpose is to stimulate research and scientific interaction through communication between specialists in different fields on topics of common interest and to promote an interdisciplinary understanding of the diverse topics in contemporary cognitive science.
Cognitive Processing considers diverse subject matter concerning cognitive processing, accepting various approaches to investigation: theoretical, experimental, methodological, computational and modeling, applicative. A tentative list of topics includes: action; attention; cognitive change and optimization; computation in cognitive science; connectionist approaches; expertise; knowledge acquisition; knowledge representation; language (grammar and semantics, discourse analysis, development, disturbances); mental architectures and models; memory; mind design; multimedia databases; perception and pattern recognition.
Cognitive Processing publishes papers under the following rubrics: Reviews are papers broadly discussing a problem from the perspective of one of the manifold disciplines of cognitive science; Research Reports are communications about new scientific results; Letters to the Editor are communications about technological applications of scientific research or about important upcoming results from research in progress that require immediate publication; Laboratory Notes are brief, general presentations of the activities in scientific laboratories.
Target groups:
1. experts and newcomers in the field, not only in the scientific community, but also in the industrial and managerial fields: besides scholars, researchers, and students in cognitive science, all those interested in interactions among cognitive research and applicative demands stemming from the productive system;
2. agents and producers in: advertising, broadcasting, cognitive rehabilitation and pharmacology for cognitive diseases, databases and data banks, computer, design, interactive learning, mechanics, multimedia communication, networks, decisional systems, expert systems, management, planning, man--machine interactions, software; and
3. qualified professionals in computer, engineering, behavioral and brain sciences.

References Literature citations in the text should indicate the author's surname with the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. Carlin (1992); Brooks and Carlin (1992). If there are more than two authors, only the first should be named, followed by "et al."References at the end of the paper should be listed in alphabetical order by the first author's name. If there is more than one work by the same author or team of authors in the same year, a, b, etc. is added to the year both in the text and in the list of references. *Journal papers: name(s) and initial(s) of all authors; year; full title; journal title abbreviated in accordance with international practice; volume number; first and last page numbersExample:Nori R, Iachini T, Giusberti F (2004) Object localisation and frames of reference. Cogn Process 5:45-53If available, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the cited literature should be added at the end of the reference in question.

Tables and figures
Tables must be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals and should have a title explaining any abbreviation used in that table. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters. Each table should be on a separate page together with the title.Illustrations must be restricted to the minimum needed to clarify the text. All figures (photographs, graphs or diagrams) should be cited in the text, and numbered consecutively throughout. Figure parts should be identified by lower-case roman letters (a, b, etc.). If illustrations are supplied with uppercase labeling, lower-case letters will still be used in the figure legends and citations. Figure legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations. The legends should be placed at the end of the text.
|
Line drawingsInscriptions should be legible, with initial capital letters and appropriately scaled to the size of the drawing. Scanned line drawings should be digitized with a resolution of 800 dpi relative to the final figure size. |
|
Halftone illustrations (black and white and color)Magnification should be indicated by scale bars. For scanned halftone illustrations, a resolution of 300 dpi is usually sufficient, TIFF is the preferred file format. |
|
Color illustrationsSave color illustrations as RGB (8 bits per channel) in TIFF format. |
|
Color figures will always be published in color in the online version. In print, however, they will only appear in color if the author agrees to make a contribution of Euro 950/US $ 1,150 (plus 19% VAT) per article. Otherwise the figures will be printed in black and white.Several figures or figure parts should be grouped in a plate on one page. |
|
Vector graphicsFonts used in the vector graphics must be included. Please do not draw with hairlines. The minimum line width is 0.2 mm (i.e., 0.567 pt) relative to the final size. EPS is the preferred file format. EPS files must always contain a preview in TIFF of the figure. |
|
Size of figuresThe figures, including legends, should either match the column width (86 mm) or the print area of 176 x 236 mm. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge illustrations. |
Electronic Supplementary Material
Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) for a paper will be published in the electronic edition of this journal provided the material is:
ESM may consist of:
|

|
information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc. |
|
large quantities of original data that relate to the paper, e.g. additional tables, large numbers of illustrations (color and black & white), etc. | Legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the ESM. The file size should not exceed 2 MB. ESM is to be numbered and referred to as S1, S2, etc.After acceptance for publication, ESM will be published as received from the author in the online version only. Reference will be given in the printed version.
Proofreading
Authors are informed by e-mail that a temporary URL has been created from which they can obtain their proofs. Proofreading is the responsibility of the author. Authors should make their proof corrections (formal corrections only) on a printout of the pdf file supplied, checking that the text is complete and that all figures and tables are included. Substantial changes in content, e.g. new results, corrected values, title and authorship are not allowed without the approval of the responsible editor. In such a case please contact the Editorial Office before returning the proofs to the publisher. After online publication, corrections can only be made in exceptional cases and in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
