Please consider submitting your work or passing this message on to 
someone you know who might be interested. In collaboration with 
Frontiers in Language Sciences, Thomas Hills (University of Basel) and 
I are organizing a Research Topic, ''Insights to the study of Language 
from Network Science.''

The proposed structure of this Research Topic is provided below.

Host Specialty: Frontiers in Language Sciences

Topic Title: Insights to the study of Language from Network Science

Topic Editor(s): Michael Vitevitch, Thomas Hills

Description: Network Science--an emerging field drawing from 
Computer Science, Physics, Sociology, Mathematics and a number of 
other disciplines--uses networks to model complex systems. Although 
network science has primarily been used to model social, biological, 
and technological systems, this approach has recently been used to 
model complex cognitive systems, providing novel insights into several 
domains of cognition. The papers collected in the present Special 
Topic examine the insights that network science has brought to the 
study of language and language processing. These studies cover 
many levels of processing (e.g., phonology, semantics, syntax), and 
different language processes (e.g., perception, production, 
acquisition).

Article Submission Deadline: Jun 01, 2013

Frontiers Research Topics are designed to be an organized, 
encyclopedic coverage of a particular research area, and a forum for 
discussion and debate. Our Research Topic receives a dedicated 
homepage on the Frontiers website, where contributing articles are 
accumulated and discussions can be easily held. Once all articles are 
published, the topic will be compiled into an eBook for widespread 
dissemination; it can be sent to all major foundations that fund your 
research, to Frontiers' network of international journalists, and to any 
list of organizations we propose. As the ultimate regularly updated 
reference source from leading scientists, Research Topic articles are 
frequently cited.

Frontiers is a Swiss-based, open access publisher. The fee associated 
with the publication process varies depending on the article type, but 
the standard publishing fee amounts to Euro900.  Details on Frontiers 
fees can be found at http://www.frontiersin.org/about/PublishingFees. 
The publishing fee for accepted articles is below average compared to 
most other open access journals - and lower than subscription-based 
journals that apply page and color figure charges. 

When published, your article will be freely available to read on the 
Frontiers site, and will be indexed in PubMed, and many other 
international archives (Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access 
Journal, PsychINFO). 

For general information about the host specialty, and to browse past 
Research Topics (also referred to as Special Topics), please have a
