[Mne_analysis] Special research topic: From raw MEG/EEG to publication

[Alexandre Gramfort]

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute to Frontiers in Neuroscience
Special Research Topic "From raw MEG/EEG to publication: how to
perform MEG/EEG group analysis with free academic software". The idea
is to create a collection of well-described group analyses of EEG and
MEG data that can be fully reproduced by anyone and ported by
researchers to their own data. Furthermore, as the analyses will be
endorsed by peer review, any analysis choices will be citeable in
future publications. This will hopefully contribute to wider adoption
of good practices by the MEG/EEG research community.

For you this is an opportunity to create the ultimate reference for
those exciting analyses in your papers that everyone keeps asking you
about and increase the impact of the methods you developed on the work
of others. Furthermore, by investing some time and effort now into
preparing your paper, you can save yourself much more time and efforts
in the future by using this resource to train junior researchers in
your group and those of your collaborators.

We are sorry for the long list of requirements for prospective
submissions but these are necessary to ensure that your papers are
really useful for other researchers and will remain useful for at
least the next decade. The requirements should be straightforward to
comply with.

Finally, we know that the 'Frontiers' brand has attracted some
criticism due to their controversial promotion and marketing
techniques. However, at present Frontiers and particularly the section
on Brain Imaging Methods  seems to be the most convenient platform for
this project and they are able to provide adequate technical and
administrative support for all its stages. As the topic editors we
will do everything possible to ensure professional and transparent
review for all submissions.

We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.

With best wishes,

The topic editors:

Arnaud Delorme
Alexandre Gramfort
Vladimir Litvak
Sri Nagarajan
Robert Oostenveld
Francois Tadel

ABOUT FRONTIERS RESEARCH TOPICS

Founded by scientists in 2007, Frontiers is a community-rooted
open-access publisher, driving innovations in peer review,
article-level metrics and research networking. The "Frontiers in"
journal series hosts 54 journals covering more than 350 academic
specialties, with a network of over 200,000 leading researchers
worldwide. Frontiers is a registered member of the Open Access
Scholarly Publishers Association
(http://www.oaspa.org/member/Frontiers) and was recognized by the
ALPSP Award for Innovation in Publishing in 2014.

The idea behind a Frontiers Research Topic is to create a
comprehensive collection of peer-reviewed articles that address a
specific theme of research, as well as a forum for discussion and
debate. Contributions can be articles describing original research,
methods, hypothesis & theory, opinions, and more. Please see the
relevant journal for a full list of accepted article types.

Frontiers will also compile an e-book, as soon as all contributing
articles are published, that can be used as educational material, be
sent to foundations that fund your research, to journalists and press
agencies, or to your professional network. E-books are free to read
and download.

Once published, your articles will be free to access for all readers,
indexed in relevant repositories, and as an author in Frontiers, you
retain the copyright to your own papers and figures.
