The next International Symposium on Performance Science will be hosted
by the Iceland Academy of the Arts and convened at Harpa, Reykjavík's
world-renowned concert hall, on August 30 – 02 September 2017.
The ISPS 2017 theme, Performance, Processes and Products, is intended
to encourage discussion and debate on how performances are conceived,
developed, delivered and received. 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 all
performance disciplines, offering new perspectives from across the
arts and sciences.

CONFERENCE PUBLICATION
Building on the publication of articles from ISPS 2013 and ISPS 2015
in Frontiers in Psychology, the journal is will host a Research Topic
in the specialty section Performance Science for ISPS 2017 presenters.
To qualify, the first (or corresponding) author must be a registered
presenter at ISPS 2017, and the manuscript should be submitted to the
journal for independent peer-review between 01 April and 31 December
2017.
The philosophy of Frontiers is that research is the product of an
investment by society, and therefore, its fruits should be returned to
all people without borders or discrimination, serving society
universally and in a transparent fashion. This is why Frontiers
provides online free and open access to all of its research
publications.
The new Frontiers specialty section Performance Science welcomes
submissions of the highest quality of the following types: Book
Review, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods,
Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review,
Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report. Like most other
serious open-access publishers, Frontiers maintains a high quality of
service through an 'author-pay' model. As such, manuscripts that are
accepted for publication following peer review may incur a publishing
fee (reduced for Research Topic submissions), depending on the article
type. For more information on the Frontiers open access policy and
publishing fees, see www.frontiersin.org/Performance_Science/fees.

Note. The ISPS 2017 Research Topic replaces the Proceedings of the
International Symposium on Performance Science. As with ISPS 2015, a
proceedings volume will not be produced for ISPS 2017; however,
published articles from all previous ISPS are freely available at
www.performancescience.org.
