The next International Symposium on Performance Science will be hosted by Ryukoku University, Kyoto, on 2-5 September 2015.
The ISPS 2015 theme, Performance Education, is intended to provide a platform for new research and discussion on processes of learning, training and review that enable effective performance. Specific research topics, fields of study, and methodological approaches have been left open intentionally to encourage interdisciplinary exchange.
Submissions detailing original research are invited from across all performance disciplines.
The official language of the conference is English.

Detailed instructions for submissions are available via the conference website: www.performancescience.org. Submissions should be made electronically to cps@rcm.ac.uk by 15 January 2015.
REVIEW PROCESS

CONFERENCE PUBLICATION
Building on the success of the ISPS 2013 Research Topic (RT) in Frontiers in Psychology, the journal is now creating a new specialty section Performance Science. The journal welcomes submissions of the highest quality of the following types:
Book Review
Evaluation
General Commentary
Hypothesis & Theory
Methods
Mini Review
Opinion
Original Research
Perspective
Review
Technology Report
For further information on Frontiers in Performance Science, see www.frontiersin.org/Performance_Science, and to read papers published as part of the ISPS 2013 RT, visit http://journal.frontiersin.org/ResearchTopic/1927.
For ISPS 2015, a new RT will be specially created to which ISPS registered presenters can submit papers for independent peer-review. These papers will be published immediately once accepted in the journal and will additionally be compiled into an E-book after the RT submission period closes on 31 December 2015. They will also qualify for a significant reduction in the publishing fee (e.g. from 1600 to 960 Euros for Original Research articles). For further details of the Frontiers open access policy and publishing fees, see www.frontiersin.org/Performance_Science/fees.
To qualify for the ISPS 2015 RT, the first (or corresponding) author must be a registered presenter at ISPS 2015, and the manuscript should be submitted between 1 May and 31 December 2015.
Note:
Spoken papers and posters accepted for the ISPS 2015 programme will not automatically qualify for publication in Frontiers. Rather, each full submission will be reviewed rigorously through an independent process.
The ISPS 2015 RT in Frontiers (and the related E-book) will replace the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Performance Science. A proceedings volume will not be produced for ISPS 2015; however, published articles from all previous ISPS are freely available at www.performancescience.org.
REGISTRATION
Full and one-day registration options are available. Online registration will open on 1 March 2015.
