CONFERENCE PUBLICATION
 
Building on the publication of articles from ISPS 2013 and ISPS 2015 in Frontiers in Psychology, the journal is will host a Research Topic in the specialty section Performance Science for ISPS 2017 presenters. To qualify, the first (or corresponding) author must be a registered presenter at ISPS 2017, and the manuscript should be submitted to the journal for independent peer-review between 01 April and 31 December 2017.
 
The philosophy of Frontiers is that research is the product of an investment by society, and therefore, its fruits should be returned to all people without borders or discrimination, serving society universally and in a transparent fashion. This is why Frontiers provides online free and open access to all of its research publications.
 
The new Frontiers specialty section Performance Science welcomes submissions of the highest quality of the following types: Book Review, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report. Like most other serious open-access publishers, Frontiers maintains a high quality of service through an ‘author-pay’ model. As such, manuscripts that are accepted for publication following peer review may incur a publishing fee (reduced for Research Topic submissions), depending on the article type. For more information on the Frontiers open access policy and publishing fees, see www.frontiersin.org/Performance_Science/fees.

To learn more about the specialty section Performance Science, see www.frontiersin.org/Performance_Science or write to chief editor Aaron Williamon at [log in to unmask].
 
Note. The ISPS 2017 Research Topic replaces the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Performance Science. As with ISPS 2015, a proceedings volume will not be produced for ISPS 2017; however, published articles from all previous ISPS are freely available at www.performancescience.org.
