Springer is launching in March 2010 the Review of Philosophy and Psychology (RPP), a peer-reviewed journal focusing on research trends at the intersection of philosophy, psychology and cognitive science.
The Review of Philosophy and Psychology will provide a forum for discussion on topics of mutual interest to philosophers and psychologists and foster interdisciplinary research at the crossroads of these two disciplines, including the neural, behavioral and social sciences as well. Published quarterly, the journal is hosted at the Jean Nicod Institute in France, a research center which is part of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). Dario Taraborelli of the University of Surrey in the UK is editor-in-chief. He will closely cooperate with executive editors Roberto Casati and Paul Egré, both from the CNRS, and Christophe Heintz from Central European University in Hungary. The advisory board of the journal includes leading experts in philosophy, linguistics and cognitive science.
Willemijn Arts, Publishing Editor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Springer, said, "RPP is aimed at a thriving community of philosophers as well as cognitive scientists. The high publication rate of articles and books in the field as well as the growing number of graduate schools, academic departments and labs worldwide witness the steady and rapid growth of this community. RPP aims to be the leading journal covering philosophical and theoretical trends in the field of cognitive science using the format of thematic issues—a format that allows for more in-depth analyses of specific topics."
The Review of Philosophy and Psychology will be available in print and electronically on www.springerlink.com. The journal will include Online First™, Cross Reference Linking and Alert services. In addition, all authors, via the Springer Open Choice™ program, have the option of publishing their articles using the open access publishing model.
