Introduction to Volume 6, Issue 3 of topiCS

Abstract

Topic Editors Angelo Cangelosi (University of Plymouth, England) and Anna Borghi (University of Bologna, Italy) bring together a group of highly interdisciplinary (even by Cognitive Science standards) researchers who pursue the topic of “Action and Language Integration: From Humans to Cognitive Robots.” The breadth of work brought to bear on this topic is impressive as is the work itself. We heartily recommend the Topic Editors' introduction to their topic and suspect that many readers will go from there to some of the many fine papers in this issue of topiCS. topiCS encourages letters and commentaries on all topics, and proposals for new topics. Letters are typically 400–1000 words (maximum of two published pages) and will be published without abstract or references (possibly 1–2 but usually none). Commentaries are often solicited by Topic Editors prior to the publication of their topic. However, commentaries after publication are also considered and should range between 1,000 and 2,000 words. Most commentaries would not have an abstract and would not include many references. If you have a letter for topiCS, please send it directly to me at grayw@rpi.edu. If you have an idea for a commentary, you might wish to send me a short note first. The Editor and the Senior Editorial Board (SEB) members are constantly searching for new and exciting topics for topiCS. Feel free to open communications with a short note to me or an SEB member (SEB members are listed under the Editorial Board heading on the publisher's homepage for topiCS) and be sure to consult the topiCS FAQ page, http://csjarchive.cogsci.rpi.edu/topiCS/FAQs.html, for Preparing a Proposal for topiCS.
