Computation also received its first Impact Factor of
1.0 (Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports® 2011) in 2011
0.867(Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports® 2011) in 2012

============================================
Reminder: New Cognitive Computation "LinkedIn" Group:
============================================
To further strengthen the bonds amongst the interdisciplinary audience
of Cognitive Computation, we have set-up a "Cognitive Computation
LinkedIn group", which has over 700 members already! We warmly invite
you to join us at: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=3155048

For further information on the journal and to sign up for electronic
"Table of Contents alerts" please visit the Cognitive Computation
homepage: http://www.springer.com/12559 or follow us on Twitter at:

Finally, we would like to invite you to submit short or regular papers
describing original research or timely review of important areas - our
aim is to peer review all papers within approximately six-eight weeks
of receipt.

We also welcome relevant high quality proposals for Special Issues -
five are already planned for 2014-15 (for CFPs, see:
