As host editor, I would like to encourage you to contribute to this topic.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Frontiers, a Swiss open-access publisher, recently partnered with Nature Publishing Group to expand its researcher-driven Open Science platform. Frontiers articles are rigorously peer-reviewed, can be disseminated freely and are widely read by your colleagues and by the broader scientific and medical research communities.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">The idea behind a research topic is to create an organized, comprehensive collection of several contributions, as well as a forum for discussion and debate. Contributions can be articles describing original research, methods, hypothesis & theory, opinions, etc.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">We have created a homepage on the Frontiers website (Frontiers in Psychology, section Perception Science) where all articles will appear after peer-review and where participants in the topic will be able to hold relevant discussions:</div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(71, 135, 255);"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.frontiersin.org/Perception_Science/researchtopics/Real-world_unisensory_and_mult/2911">http://www.frontiersin.org/Perception_Science/researchtopics/Real-world_unisensory_and_mult/2911</a></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Frontiers will also compile an e-book, as soon as all contributing articles are published, that can be used in classes, be sent to foundations that fund your research, to journalists and press agencies, or to any number of other organizations.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Among others, we have contacted the following authors:</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Bruno Lucio Giordano</div><div style="margin: 0px;">David C Jangraw : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Edward A Vessel : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Daniel P Ferris : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Bill Geisler</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Peter Gerhardstein</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Giulio Tononi : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Uri Hasson : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Jacek Dmochowski : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Joel Snyder</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Jordan Muraskin : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Tzyy-Ping Jung : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Klaus Gramman : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Linbi Hong : author</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Andreas Lozano : author </div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">As such, a manuscript accepted for publication incurs a publishing fee, which varies depending on the article type.
