Editorial policy
Cognitive Computation is a high-quality quarterly journal which will publish cutting-edge articles describing original basic and applied work involving biologically-inspired computational accounts of all aspects of natural and artificial cognitive systems. Its main purpose is to establish a forum for bringing different scientific communities together to discuss key issues and challenges in the emerging area of cognitive computation and to promote an interdisciplinary understanding of the diverse topics, including those related to perception, action, attention, learning and memory, decision making, language processing, communication, reasoning, problem solving, and consciousness aspects of cognition.
Areas of particular interest include theoretical, computational, experimental and integrative studies in cognitive systems, including (but not limited to):
artificial intelligence, neural networks, cognitive neuromorphic engineering and other hardware implementations, cognitive robotics, autonomous cognitive systems, neuroscience nanotechnology, self-organizing, swarm and immune systems, complex systems and control theory, and computational cognitive neuroscience, as well as submissions focusing on the development of latest research into practical applications.
Cognitive Computation Audience:
Computational Neuroscientists, Computer Scientists, Cognitive Scientists, Software engineers, Electronic Engineers, Neuromorphic engineers, Systems designers, Information managers, Knowledge Engineers, Psychologists, Linguists, Artificial Intelligence Specialists, Researchers, and professionals in such fields as finance, manufacturing, defense, medicine, and the sciences - both 'pure' and 'applied'.
Types of Papers:
The journal is committed to high standards of presentation. Please contact the Editor to discuss the suitability of topics.
Cognitive Computation will consider:
Regular full-length Papers and Short Papers or Letters describing original research; In-depth Review articles focusing on important new developments; Book reviews, Comments/Discussions on Papers; Opinion and controversies; Letters to the editor; Special Issue proposals; Announcements for upcoming related Events/Conferences and Books.
Full-length or Regular papers can be up to 10,000 words in length and should be aimed at presenting novel results important for the cognitive computation research community. Regular Articles are expected to constitute the core of Cognitive Computation publications.
Review (full-length) articles should focus on a topic of interest to the cognitive computation community. Authors will be asked to take particular care in writing the review in an intelligible way, so that readers outside this field can understand the main ideas and their importance. These review papers should normally be invited by the Editor, but they can also be solicited by Authors. In this case, the Author(s) should contact the Editor, and send an outline of the review stressing why it is important and timely to review this topic, and why it is relevant to this journal. Review papers will be processed and reviewed like regular articles, except that the referees will be explicitly told that it is an invited review paper.
Short Papers or Letters are aimed at important findings that need to be published promptly. The length and the number of figures are limited to 3000 words (text, including references), plus 3 figures (which can be multi-panel figures) and a maximum of one table. For these papers, the time to publication will be minimized (this fast track will be treated in priority). The format remains the same as for regular articles, except that we ask the authors to be very concise in writing their introduction and discussion, and reviewers will be asked to be prompt in their review.
All other correspondence items should be no more than 1000 words in length, with 1 figure or table.
Submission of papers
Online Manuscript Submission
Springer now offers authors, editors and reviewers of Cognitive Computation the use of our fully web-enabled online manuscript submission and review system. To keep the review time as short as possible, we request authors to submit manuscripts online to the journal‘s editorial office. Our online manuscript submission and review system offers authors the option to track the progress of the review process of manuscripts in real time. Manuscripts should be submitted to:
http://www.editorialmanager.com/cogn/
The online manuscript submission and review system for Cognitive Computation offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. This system supports a wide range of submission file formats: for manuscripts - Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTex; for figures - TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, PPT, and Postscript. PDF is not an acceptable file format.
NOTE: In case you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript online, please get in touch with the responsible Editorial Assistant by clicking on “CONTACT US” from the tool bar.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papapers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced preferably in Word, or another PC-compatible format. Any special points should be emphasized in the covering letter. The number of heading levels used should be kept to a maximum of three. Papers describing original research should be arranged as follows:
1. Title page (including correspondence address)
2. Structured Abstract (maximum 150 words)
3. Keywords (minimum 3, maximum 6)
4. Introduction
5. Methods
6. Results
7. Discussion
8. Conclusion or summary
9. Acknowledgements
10. References (see below)
11. Tables (with captions)
12. Figures (with captions)
The Title page should include:
• The name(s) of the author(s)
• A concise and informative title
• The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)
• The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author
The Abstract should not exceed 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Please provide 4 to 6 Keywords which can be used for indexing purposes.
The Introduction should assume that the reader is knowledgeable in the field and should, therefore, be as brief as possible.
In the Methods section, methods that have been published in detail elsewhere should not be described in detail.
Abbreviations and symbols used should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter. Abbreviations must be standard and SI units used throughout. Acronyms should be used sparingly and must be fully explained when first used. Any statistical analyses must explain the methods used.
Text Formatting
For submission in Word:
• Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.
• Use italics for emphasis.
• Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
• Do not use field functions.
• Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
• Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.
• Use the equation editor or MathType for equations. Note: If you use Word 2007, do not create the equations with the default equation editor but use MathType instead.
• Save your file in two formats: doc and rtf. Do not submit docx files.
References
The list of References should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
References should follow the Vancouver format. At the end of the paper they should be listed (doublespaced) in numerical order corresponding to the order of citation in the text. All authors should be quoted for papers with up to six authors; for papers with more than six authors, list the first six followed by ‘et al’. Articles that have been accepted for publication but not yet published should be listed as ‘in press’. Examples:

• Figures will be produced in black & white in the print version, and in color in the electronic version free of charge. The cost for reproducing color in the print version is $1150 per article, charged to the author/institution. If color is necessary and funding is unavailable, please contact the Editor.
• For formatting requirements, please see “Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations” below.
Electronic Supplementary Material
If Electronic supplementary material (ESM) is submitted, it will be published as received from the author in the online version only. ESM may consist of:
• information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings
• information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.
• large original data, e.g. additional tables, illustrations, etc.
• If supplying any ESM, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables (e.g., “. . . as shown in Animation 3.”).
Proofreading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
General
Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.
Vector (line) Graphics
Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format. Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
• No rules narrower than .25 pt.
• No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.
• Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics
• Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.
Halftone Illustrations
• Black and white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format. Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
Scans*
• Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.
• Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth. Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.
• *We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones. Upon acceptance of a manuscript, please be ready to provide original hard copies if electronic files are unavailable.
Graphics from Videos
• Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
Video
• MPEG (.mpg) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mov, etc. are acceptable.
• No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval.
Copyright Transfer
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws. Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, they agree to the Springer Open Choice Licence.
Online First
The article will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers.
Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer’s online platform SpringerLink. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
