KLI Theory Lab —  Interact with us

The KLI Theory Lab is a work in progress. Your contribution is highly welcome.

We appreciate submissions relevant to any or several of the areas covered in the KLI. Our objective however is not to provide a complete publication list for each author, but rather to include the work that is most important and/or representative.

Submissions should be sent via email to the address tl@kli.ac.at. We now only accept submissions in BibTex format or as Endnote files. Please note that for security reasons we will not open any Word files.

The reason for introducing the new formats for submission is that as the Theory Lab expands managing the information flow into it becomes more demanding. In order to avoid a data entry bottleneck we need to automate the process as much as possible, and using a standard bibiolographic database format allows us to import the entries directly.

To create a BibTex formatted reference you can export it from Endnote or another reference manager database, or code it by hand as follows (the structure is fairly intuitive):

Journal article
@article{
Author = {Colombo, J.},
Title = {Infant Attention Grows Up: The Emergence of a Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Perspective},
Journal = {Current Directions in Psychological Science},
Volume = {11},
Number = {6},
Pages = {196-200},
Abstract = {Visual attention has long been regarded as a tool for studying the development of basic cognitive skills in infancy and early childhood. However, over the past decade, the development of attention in early life has emerged as an important topic of research in its own right. This essay describes recent changes in the methods used to study attention in infancy, and in the nature of inferences about the early development of attention, as both research and theory in the area have become progressively integrated with models of attention from cognitive science and neuroscience.},
Keywords = {infancy
attention
development
individual differences
developmental cognitive neuroscience},
Year = {2002} }

For more information on BibTex see Help on BibTex or How To Use BibTex.

Providing keywords helps take advantage of the Theory Lab's keyword functionality, however to maintain the usefulness of our keyword list we prefer that keywords are taken from the KLI Theory Lab keyword index, and if not, that they are relevant and likely to be used by others. Around about five for each item is ideal.

The Theory Lab also has a function that creates a button or buttons next an entry that link to the relevant Area Pages. To use this please specify the Theory Lab area or areas that the reference is related to.

If you make your articles available for download and you would like us to include links to the pdf or html files please provide us with the complete url for each file just after the reference.

Please also bear in mind that each bibliographic entry must be associated with an author page, so it will be helpful to provide the following information, clearly marked:

Author name
Affiliation and address
Research interests (short statement)
Homepage url
Email address

Note that by policy we do not include the position held (e.g. associate lecturer) because this information changes more often than we would like to keep track of.

We will also greatly appreciate it if you notify us when your information changes.

Please take into account that we are aware of the incompleteness and functional limitations of the current version of the KLI Theory Lab. Therefore, specific comments and criticisms will be more useful feedback to our team than generally phrased praise or lament!
