[visionlist] Elements in Perception is expanding (Cambridge University Press)

[Enns, James]

A new era!
Publish a state-of-art review of your field with Cambridge University Press
 
Cambridge University Press is expanding the Elements in Perception series.
https://www.cambridge.org/core/what-we-publish/elements/elements-in-perception
 
Please consider this opportunity to join the existing authors in this series.  Elements is an excellent opportunity to showcase your work for other researchers and for generalist readers.  Above all, it as a golden opportunity to influence the next generation in perception. 
 
How to submit a proposal
Element proposals should identify your author group, along with a 1-2 page summary of your proposed approach, indicating how your Element will highlight:
-  research in perception that relates life and lab
-  the unique perspective of a research team in an emerging subfield of perception
-  the integration of literatures that are often treated separately
-  inspiration to students to dive more deeply into an area
Commit to completing a reviewable draft of 20-30,000 words (including refs) within a six-month time frame.
Send proposals to jenns at psych.ubc.ca <mailto:jenns at psych.ubc.ca>
 
What makes the series unique?
Elements in Perception are articles that can be used in a modular way as textbook material, reference works, and as research overviews.  Articles in this series are indexed like other journal articles in our field, with doi’s, and inclusion in Google Scholar, and Medline.  The articles are invited, based on short proposals that are reviewed by the Editors, but they are thoroughly peer-reviewed by colleagues who have a vested interested in your field of research.
 
Entirely digital.  This makes each article easily accessible and up-date-able.  The opportunity remains to print one-off copies of popular articles in paperback form at a low price ($22).
 
Forward looking rather than archival.  Each article will feature reviews of past work along with cutting edge new research that is situated within this past work.  Emphasis will be placed equally on the tools of the research, the findings, and the theoretical developments being made.  Emphasis will be placed on where the field is going, rather than trying to fit into older categories such as separate entries for “sensation” and “perception.”
 
Open ended.  At 20-30,000 words, authors who are frustrated with journal space limits can describe their work in its natural length.
 
Supplemental material.  Authors will be encouraged to use an online platform hosted by Cambridge University Press to present ancillary material (data, video, supplementary analyses) that will enhance their presentation for specialized readers.
 
Fast publication.  A 12-week production timeline following peer review, so that work is disseminated to readers quickly.
 
Accessible. Elements will be available at an affordable price point to Cambridge’s global network of library partners, and thus free to users at subscribing institutions through their library. Readers may also purchase individual volumes that interest them as $20 print-on-demand paperback books.
