CONFERENCE PUBLICATION
 Building on the success of the ISPS 2013 Research Topic (RT) in
Frontiers in Psychology, the journal is now creating a new specialty
section Performance Science. The journal welcomes submissions of the
highest quality of the following types:

Book Review
Evaluation
General Commentary
Hypothesis & Theory
Methods
Mini Review
Opinion
Original Research
Perspective
Review
Technology Report

For further information on Frontiers in Performance Science, see
www.frontiersin.org/Performance_Science, and to read papers published as
part of the ISPS 2013 RT, visit

For ISPS 2015, a new RT will be specially created to which ISPS
registered presenters can submit papers for independent peer-review.
These papers will be published immediately once accepted in the journal
and will additionally be compiled into an E-book after the RT submission
period closes on 31 December 2015. They will also qualify for a
significant reduction in the publishing fee (e.g. from 1600 to 960 Euros
for Original Research articles). For further details of the Frontiers
open access policy and publishing fees, see

To qualify for the ISPS 2015 RT, the first (or corresponding) author
must be a registered presenter at ISPS 2015, and the manuscript should
be submitted between 1 May and 31 December 2015.

Note:
Spoken papers and posters accepted for the ISPS 2015 programme will not
automatically qualify for publication in Frontiers. Rather, each full
submission will be reviewed rigorously through an independent process.

The ISPS 2015 RT in Frontiers (and the related E-book) will replace the
Proceedings of the International Symposium on Performance Science. A
proceedings volume will not be produced for ISPS 2015; however,
published articles from all previous ISPS are freely available at

REGISTRATION
Full and one-day registration options are available. Online registration
will open on 1 March 2015.
For further information about the venue, submissions, graduate award,
and registration, visit the conference website: www.performancescience.org.
