Articles for Trends in Cognitive Sciences are generally commissioned by the Editor, but proposals for articles are welcome. Prospective authors should submit an abstract (120 words) plus a cover letter (two pages maximum) outlining what will be discussed in the article plus up to 20 key references via our online submission site. Full details can be found at http://www.editorialmanager.com/tics. Full length manuscripts cannot be submitted via this site without prior consultation with the Editor. Authors should note that all articles in Trends in Cognitive Sciences are peer-reviewed, and commissioning does not guarantee publication.

Update:
This section contains Letters and Book Reviews:
Letters usually discuss a recent article in TICS or, very occasionally, a matter of general interest. Letters should be no more than 400-500 words long with a maximum of 10 references. Where letters discuss a TICS article, the author of that article will normally be invited to reply, thereby providing a forum for debate within the journal.
Book Reviews are small opinion pieces or mini-reviews of subject areas, in which the TICS author uses the book as a framework for discussing the field.

Opinion:
Opinion articles present a personal viewpoint of a field or research-related subject. They can cover timely controversial topics or debates, provide a new interpretation of an old problem or current issue, or speculate in depth on the implications of some recently published research or data. Opinion articles aim to stimulate debate rather than provide a comprehensive review of a topic.

Review:
Review articles are invited from leading researchers in a specific field. These articles offer a balanced account of newly emerging or rapidly progressing fields, and provide a guide to the most relevant recent literature and indication of future research. Together with Opinion articles, these form the core of each monthly issue.
