New: Cognitive Science Network of the Social Science Research Network

SSRN announced its new Cognitive Science Network to which I subscribed yesterday. They have an easy way to subscribe to all 7 of the subject matter ejournals at once (link below) and subscriptions are free until October. I have no doubt that some of the papers will relate to conflict resolution.

From the e-mail I received from SSRN:

We are pleased to announce the creation of the Cognitive Science Network (CSN). It will provide a worldwide, online community for research in all areas of cognitive science, following the model of other subject matter networks within SSRN.

We expect CSN to become a comprehensive online resource for research in cognitive science, providing scholars with access to current work in their field and facilitating research and scholarship.

...

Initially, CSN will begin with the following 7 subject matter eJournals, and subscriptions will be free during the start-up phase until October 2009.

And rounding out the list of 40 mediation sites in 40 minutes

We were very happy to be included in mediator Geoff Sharp's great list of 40 mediation sites. And Brains On Purpose has a category of its very own: Mediation Friendly Psycho Site. I hope Psycho is just a shortened version of psychology? Both Jeff and I are relatively sane so I will go with the abbreviation.

Sharp's blog is mediator blah...blah.... I highly recommend you follow his mediation blog, and watch and listen to the videos at his Mediation vBlog Project. (That's his photo over to the left.)

Thanks for including us, Geoff!
