Evolutionary cognitive neuroscience is an emerging and promising new scientific field that combines the meta-theoretical strengths of an evolutionary perspective with the methodological rigor of neuroscience. The purpose of the present research was to quantify and test evolution’s influence in neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience journals over time (1987-2006). In Study 1, analyses from a co...

Although some online communities have been able to produce high quality products and to engage thousands of users, community designers usually struggle to engage new users and increase the level of contribution of current users. Some researchers have explored approaches to persuade users to collaborate. An important strand of this research area is based on sending messages to the current users ...

1 HERE are social practices and virtues which, if we are to characterize them, require us to mention the truth. This is not the same as mentioning what other people hold true (their beliefs), or just mentioning what we regard as true (our own beliefs). We may contrast in this respect two different virtues of truth, which may be labeled sincerity and accuracy. Sincerity (at the most basic level)...

The fundamental methods are described for the general spacecraft trajectory design and optimization software system called Copernicus. The methods rely on a unified framework that is used to model, design, and optimize spacecraft trajectories that may operate in complex gravitational force fields, use multiple propulsion systems, and involve multiple spacecraft. The trajectory model, with its a...
