Edgar Garcia-Rill, PhD
Welcome Note
It is a pleasure to help promote Translational Brain Rhythmicity as a vehicle for neuroscientists interested in the language of the brain. Neural oscillations were the first type of brain activity detected by the EEG almost 100 years ago. Almost 50 years ago, intrinsic membrane oscillations were described. Brain rhythms are manifested at several levels of the neuraxis and at a number of frequencies, all subserving a host of functions from sensory binding to motor pattern generation, from sleep and consciousness to memory consolidation, and more. Virtually all neurological and psychiatric disorders bear some form of frequency dysregulation from physiological tremor to rest or intention tremor or chorea, from epilepsy to brain-computer interphases. The list is endless so I hope that Translational Brain Rhythmicity will become a vehicle for all those interested in advancing the field in all of its different forms.

Publication Charges
Translational Brain Rhythmicity is an Open Access journal and we do not charge the end user when accessing a manuscript or any article. This allows the scientific community to view, download, distribution of an article in any medium, provided that the original work is properly cited, under the term of "Creative Commons Attribution License". In line with other open access journals we provide a flat fee submission structure on the acceptance of a peer-reviewed article which covers in part the entirety of the publication pathway (the article processing charge).

We also have to ensure enough investment to secure a sustainable model which ethically, legally and financially stable.
The publication charges for Translational Brain Rhythmicity are GBP 2190.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why are your charges set at these levels?
All articles published in OA Text are open access. Open Access publishing implies that all readers, anywhere in the world, are allowed unrestricted to full text of articles, immediately on publication in OA Text Journals. The Article Publication Charges pay for the editorial and production costs of the journal, for hosting the website, publishing articles online, preparing HTML , PDF and XML versions of the articles and submitting the articles in electronic citation database like CrossRef.
Our financial goals are to:
- Recover capitalization costs;
- Produce sufficient revenue to allow for a sustainable and scalable publishing program, under continuous development;
- Bend the publication-charge cost downward over time.
Who will pay the APC?
Corresponding author or Co-authors has to make the payment on acceptance of the article.
