15 Years of Impactful, Open Neuroinformatics

This Research Topic is a celebration of the 15 Year Anniversary of Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, inviting some key contributors to the success of the Journals and the Neuroinformatics community to highlight significant elements of the past, present, and future of Neuroinformatics. The Topic showcases some of the most notable advances in Neuroinformatics over the past 15 years, provides discussion around the key current challenges facing the field, and looks forward to exciting new research developments to come in the next 15 years – such as providing clinical neuroscience databases and the use of novel informatics approaches to merge clinical with basic neuroscience data.

By following its mission to freely disseminate high-quality research with a worldwide reach, Frontiers in Neuroinformatics will continue to play a key role in accelerating the progress of Neuroinformatics research and making Open Science a global reality.

Frontiers would like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the Chief Editors of Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, Professors Jan G Bjaalie, Sean L Hill, and Michael Denker, for their work in realizing the vision of Open Science and establishing the journals’ worldwide reputation – one that we will continue to build upon as we move into the next 15 years.

In order to ensure that the historical significance of this issue is truly reflected in high-quality work, the type of articles that will be accepted for this special Research Topic are:

(1) High-level reviews of impactful open topics and issues of broad interest in Neuroinformatics
(2) Research reports of ground-breaking new concepts, which must clearly not be incremental developments of existing ideas and methods.

Important please note: Articles that are submitted to this special Research Topic must be within the scope of the journal. Topic Editors will be choosing the best of the best submissions and these will be accepted and also promoted by Frontiers on social media.

Due to the special nature of this Research Topic, any rejections will be made without feedback.
