In collaboration with Frontiers in Language Sciences, Thomas Hills (University of Basel) and I are organizing a Research Topic, ''Insights to the study of Language from Network Science.'' The proposed structure of this Research Topic is provided below. Host Specialty: Frontiers in Language Sciences Topic Title: Insights to the study of Language from Network Science Topic Editor(s): Michael Vitevitch, Thomas Hills Description: Network Science--an emerging field drawing from Computer Science, Physics, Sociology, Mathematics and a number of other disciplines--uses networks to model complex systems. Although network science has primarily been used to model social, biological, and technological systems, this approach has recently been used to model complex cognitive systems, providing novel insights into several domains of cognition. The papers collected in the present Special Topic examine the insights that network science has brought to the study of language and language processing. These studies cover many levels of processing (e.g., phonology, semantics, syntax), and different language processes (e.g., perception, production, acquisition). Article Submission Deadline: Jun 01, 2013 Frontiers Research Topics are designed to be an organized, encyclopedic coverage of a particular research area, and a forum for discussion and debate. Our Research Topic receives a dedicated homepage on the Frontiers website, where contributing articles are accumulated and discussions can be easily held. Once all articles are published, the topic will be compiled into an eBook for widespread dissemination; it can be sent to all major foundations that fund your research, to Frontiers' network of international journalists, and to any list of organizations we propose. As the ultimate regularly updated reference source from leading scientists, Research Topic articles are frequently cited. Frontiers is a Swiss-based, open access publisher. The fee associated with the publication process varies depending on the article type, but the standard publishing fee amounts to Euro900. Details on Frontiers fees can be found at http://www.frontiersin.org/about/PublishingFees. The publishing fee for accepted articles is below average compared to most other open access journals - and lower than subscription-based journals that apply page and color figure charges. When published, your article will be freely available to read on the Frontiers site, and will be indexed in PubMed, and many other international archives (Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journal, PsychINFO).
