Our expectation is that we will allot two months for review of manuscripts and another two months for revisions if they are requested. All submissions will undergo a standard review process (i.e. double-blind peer-review). Submissions should follow American Psychological Association Style and should be in the order of 2000 to 4000 words long. Please check the "Notes for Authors" section of the PSYCHE website for additional formatting details. Longer papers will be considered. Articles that are accepted will be published in two formats: a plain ASCII version will be emailed directly to PSYCHE's 2500 subscribers, and an HTML version -- which can contain graphics, links to raw data, or even movies -- made available on the PSYCHE website.

More Details:

The online journal PSYCHE is soliciting commentaries and articles for a special issue dedicated to issues raised by Arien Mack and Irvin Rock in their book "Inattentional Blindness". In addition original papers that focus in general on the role of attention in human consciousness will also be considered for publication. PSYCHE is interested in submissions from researchers in any relevant field, including philosophers, psychologists, and biologists.

Our goal is to explore the importance of the study of selective attention to a deeper understanding of conscious perception.

Commentaries in this special issue are tentatively scheduled to be published in January 2000 to be followed by a reply by Arien Mack. The first chapter of the book is available on the PSYCHE website at:    http://psyche.cs.monash.edu.au/v5/psyche-5-03-mack.html

We expect this to be an exciting forum that will include commentaries from individuals in philosophy, psychology, and the biological sciences. We hope that you will consider our invitation to participate. If you are interested in submitting a paper, please contact us as soon as possible.
