Oxford University Press is launching a new Open Access journal, Neuroscience of Consciousness, in partnership with the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC).
The journal’s editor-in-chief will be Professor Anil Seth of the University of Sussex.
OUP said that in recent years the scientific study of consciousness had "rapidly expanded and matured" and that research into the field has made key advances in quantifying consciousness in the lab, and distinguishing between levels and types of awareness. The Neuroscience of Consciousness journal will bring a focus to consciousness science and catalyse further developments in this field, the publisher said.
Seth added: “The neuroscience of consciousness is one of the most exciting and fast-moving areas of modern science. Neuroscience of Consciousness will provide a focus for this accelerating research agenda, and through its partnership with the ASSC I am confident the new journal will become the outlet of choice for the very best research in this fundamental area of science.”
Steve Fleming, executive director of the ASSC, said: "Each year the ASSC meeting showcases the very best in consciousness research from around the world, and we anticipate that our members will rapidly come to see Neuroscience of Consciousness as a premier outlet for their work."
The journal will be open for submissions on 1st January 2015 and the community may register their interest now online.
